Brown recluse spider bite
 
Yes, these things ARE found in Florida. And as can be seen, nothing you want to mess around with.

No, I don't know whom the hand belongs to. This was sent to me via an email.

BTW, there has been some discussion about this not actually being a bite from a Brown Recluse Spider, but no one has been able to say what exactly it is from. Be that as it may, WHATEVER made this bite is NOT something I would want to have any where near me!

The first 3 pics look like the real thing. My son was bitten on the elbow by one and it got pretty nasty and took forever to heal... and lots of meds. I would think if it got as bad as those last pics his thumb or hand would be long gone...and Sh*t talk about painful.....

I work for a county government and one of the code enforcement officers was bitten on the thumb and what I heard he did loose his hand. What I see there is just about what was described to me. So what you see may well be actual. I believe there were a few complications that set in also, it was not just from the bite, although I understand you do not want to take a chance with one of those spiders.

Brown Recluse, Brown and Black Widow
 
Living here on the nature coast I have woods around me and yes all of these critters are here. The widows especially like to make egg sacks under the manual garage door handles and they hide in there. If you are bitten get to the hospital.

my husband was bitten by one and fortunately not injected with poison. still an icky bite though. We found the spider dead in the bed so apparently he rolled over on it.
