[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3791486, member: 45328"] I was bitten by a Brown Recluse Spider on top of my foot. It must have been in my work shoes on the back porch I guess. I didn't feel the bite, just noticed the sore on my foot. this was on a weekend, and my wife told me I should go to the E.R. I got on the internet to try and figure out what had bitten me, and this bite was so distinictive It was obvuious what it was. I read about rotting out the flesh, and decided she was right! After a few hours in the ER an pup docter came and looked at it and said you were bitten by a brown recluse spider! he then a calll all the other pup doctors in the hospital down to look at it! I guess none of them had seen a brown recluse spider bite before, including him? This took another couple of hours, then he said, there is no anti-vinum for this, it's Nero-toxin vinum, and only Hemo-toxin has anti-vinum! After about 6 or 7 hours they said, keep it clean, and if necessary go to would specialist, It healed OK, the bill was $100.00 co-pay, for the ER, and $2,500.00 the insurance's part. They negoated that down to about 10%/15% and ended up paying about $300.00 I think! I'm not sure which was worse the spider bite, or the ER visit? [/QUOTE]
