"Brown Recluse" Spiders
From: R.L. Smith, 1982. Venomous Animals of Arizona. The University of Arizona.
Warning: The bite of a "brown recluse" spider, while not usually life-threatening, may cause severe local and occasionally systemic symptoms that require the sustained attention of a physician. A neglected bite can result in disfiguration and possible renal (kidney) failure. If you believe that you or someone in your care has been bitten by a brown spider, visit a physician as soon as possible for examination and possible treatment of the bite. There are no recommended first aid procedures for brown spider bites (see first aid instructions).

The Dangerous Brown Recluse Spider
Please be careful.
Spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent
and highly negative consequences.
They like the darkness and tend to live in storage sheds or attics or other
areas that might not be frequented by people or light.
If you have a need to be in your attic, go up there and turn on a light
and leave it on for about 30 minutes before you go in to do your work.
