If I can believe a friend who volunteers as a guide in the insect dept. at the LA County Museum of Natural History, he reports the only brown recluse in CA is in a display case at the museum, and it's dead, demised, past on, no more, ceased to be, it's expired and gone to meet it's maker, this is a stiff, berift of life, it rests in peace. It's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex....., (oops, sorry. This sequed into Monty Python's "Dead Parrot" skit).

Jeff. Whatever caused the bite shouldn't be as serious as a recluse or even a widow (from others' comments). Hope you feel better soon.

I was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider at Camp Pendleton, CA back in 1988 or so. I still have the scar on my back where i had a 2" hole that had to be debrided and packed with gause while it was healing. You could look into the hole and see the underlying muscle. Very painful and something I'll always remember as will my wife as she had to take care of me while it was healing.
