Brown Recluse, the most dangerous spider in the USA, even more so than the black widow and early spring seems to be the time when they show up the most. storage sheds, attics and wood piles are some of there fav hangouts. if you get bit by one or even think it is one you best get to the ER in a hurry.
here is a pic for those that have never seen one.

Yep....they like to get in closets and get in pockets of clothing also.
They get into shoes too.
Yes I'v had personnl expeince with them.Got kinda lucky did not get really sick like some but rotted out a large spot on my lower leg that took almost a yr to heal and can still tell where it was.
Many years ago I was bitten by one and at the time i didn't really know what it was. It wasn't until my friend realized I was slurring my words that he knew something was wrong. He rushed me to the er just in time as my airway was closeing off. A shot and, vola, much needed air... Saved my life and I've been on the lookout for these critters ever since..
thanks for the reminder and pic..

According to the new regulations at Sardis, a spider can only now have 3 legs.
