I have been bit by both and my mom by a brown. She lost 1/4 of her face to it! I just have a couple nasty scars.

I got bit on the thigh and ended up in the hospital. I had my leg lanced open several shots and 3 prescriptions 8 years ago, to this day my thigh still has a sunk in spot in it when it bit me.
Freaking hate spiders.
did pest contol for almost 20years crawls attics and unfinished basements never saw the first one, not saying we don't have them they are slowly spreading into this area ,but thay are still not real common...
I was bitten last summer. Other than a big rotting half dollar sized wound,I had every joint in my body aching and a horrible headache for days. The doctor put me on antibiotics , I was better in a few days and the wound healed.
Yeah.. until a spider wasp paralyzes the spider, lays its eggs inside it, and the larave feed on the spider from the inside out. **** THAT NOISE BRO.
many people confuse these with recluse spiders they live in crawls basements and garages, they will also take over and empty house..
^ This is true. They did a study a few years back, and only 19 BRs were found in GA. I was initially misdiagnosed as having a BR bite, and I started looking into it. Also the fiddle mark is a myth for identifying a BR.
saw one this morning when grabbed a piece of wood close to it, need to be more careful
it is best to treat crawls and attics with an insecticidal dust, you can use a tomato duster and just blow it into these areas, just close your vents in your crawl or you wll lose a lot of it through them.... If you have an unfinished basement or large shop a couple good foggers will kill all spiders as well as other crawly and flying insects and bugs..
