Brown Recluse Spider Bite
📋Overview
A Brown Recluse Spider Bite occurs when venom is injected into the tissue, potentially leading to a localized necrotic reaction. This clinical condition is categorized as necrotic arachnidism, characterized by the cytotoxic effects of the spider's venom on the surrounding skin and soft tissue.
While most bites result in localized skin damage and pain, they may occasionally cause more severe systemic responses. These spiders typically inhabit dark, secluded areas and generally only bite humans when they are accidentally disturbed or compressed against the body.
