ohh I hate those things I found one today but I didn’t know what king I got a good look at it and I went on the internet and pulled up pictures that’s exactly what it looked like. I found this blog and I want to know if they can do anything besides bite and what all they can do to me im only 12 but a total science geek so I thought I could research them for a project do u have anything that can help … I want to learn more about them.

i have them in my covers sheets and shipments i even find them in my food i got used to it cuz i lived with them for ever and we got a deal: they stay outta my house i wont spray them with wd40 and light them on fire XD it works u should try it but out of flamable areas. my great great grandma got one burried in her stomach and a day later had a spaz and died on the floor. we didnt find out till a few minutes later it came out of the burrow. its scarring :O

I had to look them up, but these recluse spiders sound awesome. White-tails have traditionally been accused of having necrotic bites, but I think that’s been debunked. I’ve avoided ever studying biology, but it amazes me what a few little protein molecules can do.
