Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Brother-in-law had a problem with a large open sore on his leg last summer---the doctor's diagnosis was a Brown Recluse Spider bite. This was in central New York State. Jackie __________ You Have 3 New Flings!3 people want to have a FLING with you! View Your Flings!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 My Brother-in-law was just released from the hospital. A Brown Recluse, in Missouri. He was throwing up, his hands, legs and feet were swollen and his Oxygen levels were impaired. They found the bite on his abdomen and after treatment he is recovering. They also removed an abscessed area about softball sized at the bite location. He was on his way back to Germany but he has to stay here for 6 weeks now.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I had a friend that was bit on the leg by one. She is the " tough it out " type so went till it was turning black and her boyfriend was insisting she go to doc. Ultimately, she spent several days in the hospital and ended up with about a 3 " deep " hole " in the muscle of her leg clear down to her bone! Until then I had NO IDEA that Nebraska had such dangerous spiders. We generally lime around the exterior of the house to ward off and kill any kind of " invaders " and when we are thorough with it with hardly ever see a critter. This year now, we didn't get lime around very fast and have had so many rains that it didn't stay very good and have had some scary looking spiders in the house. The last one was on a drape heading down behind an impossible-to-move bookcase, I didn't have any spider spray on hand, so I threw lime dust down behind all the furniture on that side of room and down the drape .. and I hope!! No one needs those kind of home-invaders, stealing one's muscle!! Joyce , Lynda Brasier <susoni wrote: > > My Brother-in-law was just released from the hospital.
