DANGEROUS BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER - BEWARE! CAUTION GRAPHIC!
This venom is a collection of enzymes. One of the specific enzymes, once released into the victim’s skin, causes destruction of local cell membranes, which disrupts the integrity of tissues leading to local breakdown of skin, fat, and blood vessels. This process leads to eventual tissue death called necrosis in areas immediately surrounding the bite site.
The venom also induces in its victim an immune response. The victim’s immune system releases inflammatory agents—histamines, cytokines, and interleukins—that signal specific disease-fighting white blood cells to the area of injury. In severe cases, however, these same inflammatory agents can themselves cause injury. These secondary effects of the venom, although extremely rare, can produce these more significant side effects of the spider bite:
Destruction of red blood cells
Low platelet count
Blood clots in capillaries and loss of ability to form clots where needed
Acute renal failure (kidney damage)
Coma
Death
BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER BITE - DAY 10
RECLUSE SPIDER BITE - DAY 9 - (CAUTION GRAPHIC!)

Unbelievable a spider could cause this!:WTF:
