That really looks nasty. I have a friend in Albuquerque that got bit by one and he had to have his leg amputated. The infection moved right up his leg and the flesh died as it went.

I hope your friend has a good doctor. If he has any doubts get him to a university hospital, where they will probably have more experience with those bites. It can move very fast so really keep an eye on it. I'll pray for him. He's going to need it.
