Spiders don’t bite like that anyway. It’s something else.

It is a very venomous spider. The bites probably have an enzyme based poison which makes the small wounds grow large.

Looks like he has some necrosis going on in those wounds. He should be under medical care for several reasons.

” The bites probably have an enzyme based poison which makes the small wounds grow large.”

Think I’ve learned that.

Had a bite that grew into about 2 inches of necrotic skin.

Suspect Brown Recluse.

Still have the scar.

From your link it says ...

"They also added that "in rare instances, victims have developed minor wounds at the bite site or had to be treated for severe bacterial infections.""

And the video linked at the bottom of the page says there are "only 24 globally confirmed cases of False Widow Spider bites."

A team of scientists from NUI Galway ...

He has hundreds of bites from "very venomous" spiders, and he's still walking and talking?

Interesting info. Thanks.

A spider doesn’t hang around just biting someone over and over again, nor do they seek out humans to bite. It’s usually an accidental encounter.

Spiders aren’t interested with humans otherwise.
We can’t reproduce with them and we’re too big to eat.

Someone here mentioned Meth…….in fact, those do look like Meth sores.

Meth abusers get a terrible unbearable itchy feeling on their arms or legs or both. They scratch until sores develop.
