i just got over a bite.. i was bitten on the upper backside or my leg.. i guess i must have rolled over on it while sleeping.. the army doctors told me that 90% of bites normally heal on their own without scarring.. my bite got huge and so painfull that i couldnt sit down without sitting on a pillow.. no fun.. i live in kentucky and they are everywhere.. the locals down here dont pay them much mind. was told that if i find wolf spiders in my garage not to kill them because they hunt the recluse. a good way to find out if you are sharing your house, get a bowl of water (dont fill too high, just a tad).. then place the bowl somewhere in a room that doesnt get much attention like a closet, under the bed, next to entertainment center... the recluse with go to the bowl for a drink, slide in, get wet and wont be able to get out and then they will drown.. thats how i caught my specimen to take with me to the doctors.
