Brown recluse is poisonous enough to kill your cat or dog and give you a bite that may become gangrenous. I cannot imagine why anyone would laugh about that.

Don’t forget the nose plugs too, and some duct tape...

I recommend not looking up "brown recluse spider bites"...

I got nailed on the left forearm by one of these. It rotted a hole about the size of a pea. Didn’t know what it was until someone saw it and told me. I’d been peeling shingles, evidently a favorite place for them to hide.

Happened to me. I woke up and couldn’t hear out of one ear. Stuck a Q-tip in, and a brown recluse skittered out on the Q-tip. I thought I’d never sleep again. This happened while I was living in Missouri. What are the chances? It didn’t bite me, praise the Lord.

I may never get a good night’s sleep in my life after this.

Battled these cursed arachnids for about two years around 10 years ago. Truly hard to fight since most chemicals don’t work. Used glue traps and rid my home them. From what I understand doing research when trying to get rid of them, 90% of their bites, don’t amount to much more than a mosquito bite. Still paranoid of the little $#!^$.

I don’t understand why anyone would voluntarily live south of Connecticut or west of the Hudson river.

What if the next one crawls into her “hidey hole” in the front?

The doctor flushed her ear with water, but it didn't budge.

Try olive oil next time. I guarantee no critter is going to stick around in that.

“Kansas City, Missouri”

Hmmm. This is a desert spider. Usually it is someone who has traveled to Arizona or Nevada that ends up bringing on back.

I once told my doctor I had a bug in my ear.
He thought it was a jokey figure of speech, IOW like I had some kind of big idea.
I kept insisting, No, really, there’s a bug in my ear.
Finally he looked & there really was a live bug in my ear.

Unless you have actually live in Kansas and have been bitten by them many times you would be nervous. Most of the time the bites are a bit more irritating than misquitoe bites and are successfully treated with neosporin.
