This has to be fake. Why wouldnt you have gone to the hospital by now!?
Hmmmm. Thats a hobo spider, and I’ve seen their bite. If this isn’t a fake, it was poorly treated and badly infected. But I say its fake!
Probably a brown recluse bite. Almost any other spider bite will only hurt or itch a little.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHH!!!!1 JESUS!!! PROTECT MEEE!!!!!!!!
Omg, I saw this while I Was eating. That thing is so sick. ITs all black and stuff ew.
The photo is what we here in the Ozarks call a Brown Recluse or ‘Fiddleback’. It does not build a funnel web and is commonly found in dry places such as outbuildings, attics and yes, homes.
It seems to have a particular affinity for cardboard boxes and I could go out in my shed right now (December) and find a half dozen within a few minutes. They will be sleepy and slow moving but quite alive.
In warm weather they are very fast moving and range in size from tiny spiderlings to able to hang eight on a half dollar. The bite varies from mild (in my case) to rarely fatal. Infection is a given; but reaction to the venom varies.
There is not much a doctor can do other than treat the infection. If you start to rot you just have to wait and see how bad it’s going to get.I have read one article on the use of nitroglycerin patches to improve healing.
this could be so real, My own brother got bit by a huge ass spider, wanna see the hole in his leg clear to the bone and didn’t heal for almost a year…………
A brown recluse bite will do this, sometimes even with treatment.
“This has to be fake, why wouldn’t you have gone to the hospital by now?”
Look at the background of the pictures, they show a hospital room on day 9 and day 10.
I saw a similar Recluse bite to this while in the army. The soldier waited almost a week before he reported it. At that point, despite treatment the necrosis (black tissue you see) was bound to run it’s course.
The treatment involves fasciotomy (removing the dead tissue) and antibiotics … It certainly wasn’t pretty.
His bite was on his thigh and left a hole about the size of a cereal bowl.
Youve got to be kidding! This isnt real, Cant be if there are in houses then why isnt there more reports of sever bites like this from this spider?
scary… well for me im very afraid of any crawling insects… and to see this effects i hope they dont go near me… ever!!
arlene…
cool site !!!…
we found the picture to be very stimulating and it certainly explains some of the facial damage that jay whitlow experienced when digging for artifacts in the Ozarks and yes, maybe it was a brown recluse that resulted in the necrotic destruction of his nose but Dr. Whitlow was too caught up with his disfigurement to worry about what happened to the spider.
Its a brown recluse bite, saw the same pictures in other places.
wow, i just saw one on friday and it was huge!!!!!!!! i really would go to the doctor and get help
this has just gotta be the most awesomest thing in the world(if awesomest is a word)
OMG…. THAT’S CRAZY BUT I’M NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW DO U LET IT GET THAT BAD…. I WAS BIT BY A BROWN RECLUSE(IN MY SLEEP ONE NIGHT) WHEN I WAS CAMPING.. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME IT WAS 3 DAYS AFTER AND MY HANDING WAS HURTING SOOOOO BAD.. BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE DR. I WAS TOLD I WAS LUCKEY TO STILL HAVE MY HAND… AND IT WAS ONLY 5 DAYS AFTER.. THAT WAS 4 YEARS AGO AND I STILL HAVE A NASTY SCAR… I WOULD HATE TO BE THAT MAN RIGHT NOW… EWWWW………….
that man is in a hospital.
how many people have those kind of tables that only have one “leg” attached to wheels in their homes?
why do you think so many people are scared of spiders? of course, house spiders in woody neighborhoods can do things like this… and even after treatment, necrosis continues.
so many spiders in the world, not enough perfect knowledge for treating their bites.
poor man.
I got bit 3 times in one month, by a brown recluse ,which are common even in non-wooded areas. Look around your house. The first spider made my leg swollen the next morning immobilizing me. I took care of the area and it relieved. The next one gave me a nice pimple that was sore but that one was moderate in severity. When I was bitten again I tried to continue the same treatment. After 3 days it became a bloody pimple that would not pop. I squeezed it under hot water trying to ooze fluids out but it only sweat beads of blood. I finally went to the doctor and they cut it open and gave me antibiotics. The doctor asked permission to show the bite to other doctors which I granted. It seemed to excite them. The Doc did mention that people can lose limbs within days if left untreated. I think I have built an immunity to brown recluse spiders because of future bites. Although I can’t be sure if they were specifically brown recluse.
yeah I agree with Louis but it looks cool
yeah I agree with Louis but it looks cool en64ght y6 be rea3
Newsflash for all you people talking about the brown recluses/fiddle-backs. The venom in hobo spiders is nearly identical in composition and in amounts released. They also look similar save that hobo spiders are smaller and lack the infamous fiddle pattern. One major difference is location. Brown recluses have never been officially sighted in the northwest(or at least in Oregon), though their bites were reported prior to the discovery of the Hobo spider. Sometimes they still are, even by doctors because the hobo spiders discovery is recent and the myth that brown recluses live up here old and deeply rooted. My mother’s best friend was almost killed by one, and my classmate was also treated for a bite. The bites often happen when the funnel-web spider is scouting a dark location for its web and crawls under bed covers where it can be rolled on accidentally. Luckily they only inject venom 50% of the time.
Those pictures of the thumb are pictures from wikipedia of a brown recluse bite, so while the hobo spider may be equally dangerous (I don’t know) these are not pictures of a hobo bite.
It’s funny what digestive chemicals can do to flesh…
this could very well be real. my friend garry was bit by a hobo spider(on his thigh) and in a week his whole thigh was about the size of a watermelon. we took him to the hospital and all they could do was clean it and carve out the bite.
they have to try and get to the venom before the venom gets to you.
