We also have black widows, generally i do not think their bite is as bad as the recluses. Either way poisonous spider bites have a potential to make them very sick, My son got bitten when he was very small by a recluse.He never got sick but OMG the lump was enormous by the time I saw it. I think like anything else some get a worse reaction than others. I know lots of jack russels who regularly were bitten by water moccasins,a horribly deadly snake to anyone, these dogs just killed them and moved on. The owner treated them with antibiotics and they were out hunting the next day. tough little dogs!!! |
