“The spiders inject what’s called a hemotoxin,” said Houseman, who also is a state urban entomology specialist with MU Extension. “The hemotoxin produces a blister that turns black and sloughs off within 24 hours leaving an ulcerous open wound that takes six to eight weeks to heal, leaving a permanent scar. In very rare cases, the bite may lead to fever, rash, vomiting, coma, and death within two or three days.”

Better be careful if it is the brown recluse variety...
