Tragic story – Brown Recluse blamed

Comments Off on Tragic story – Brown Recluse blamed

Billings, Montana

 

10 year old dies after being bitten by (Brown Recluse Spider), originally thought to be cancer and sent home from emergency room. “10 year-old dies after spider bite”

 

Now based on only these facts I have a few questions.

  1. Was there any indication of spiders at his home or area? Brown Recluse spiders are known to inhabit areas of the Mid-West of USA.
  2. Spider bite in general or was it really a Brown Recluse?
  3. Bugs do travel and can be transported via storage boxes etc, have there been any reports of Brown Recluse in Billings?

My sympathies go out to the family and friends and I hope we get to the bottom of this story.

Brown Widow Spider and this was a picture from my own neighborhood, thanks Monica. Sometimes difficult to tell, but you can see some strange markings including that little hourglass. The colorings are different than that of Black Widow spiders, the color of the hourglass can be yellow or even orange and they may also have spots on their top sides. The one thing to note is that the egg sacks are spiky while those of the Black Widow are basically just round shaped.

Always take care working around you home, wear gloves and if bitten call Poison Control 1-800-222-1222
