"Killed one of those in my little girls bed a few days ago. Nasty little bas........"

I've been bitten by one which decided to share my sheets with me.

Pull the bed away from the wall so it's not touching any other wall or furniture; fix the bedcovers so they can't slip off onto the floor; and put two-sided tape around
the bed legs.
That should help keep them away. . .

If you do get bit, smother the bite with MSM powder.
It neutralizes the posion. (You can find the powder at any health food store; it may be in capsule form so you'll have to break open the capsules and mix the powder into a paste.)
Keep a poltice of the powder on the wound.
You'll still get some damage, but it won't be as bad.

"If you do get bit, smother the bite with MSM powder."

And do whatever else the doctor tells you to do, of course...

I tore her room apart and sprayed every crevice with Black Flag spider killer.

put two-sided tape around the bed legs.

Thanks for the tip, I'll do that.

Hubby got very sick last year. He became more and more ill. At around midnight one night he had to go to the emergency room. They discovered 5 brown recluse bites on his head and neck.

I'll do that as well, thanks.

So the mainstream media is good for something after all!

I've read that one of the most effective treatments for the bite of a brown recluse is electrical shocks at the site of the wound.
