Abstract
The bite of the brown recluse spider rapidly causes an infarction in skin that is painful and can be slow to heal. This is the only North American spider to cause such severe necrosis. The bite sometimes can produce a sudden, severe hemolysis. Conservative care without drugs is the safest proven treatment.Entities:
