HABITAT
Houses are the common habitat of this kind of spider. Inside homes, the brown recluse spider can be found in any of the following places: dark spots within baths, dormitories, garages, closets and cellars, vent and heating conducts, seldom used clothes or shoes. They can nest in stored clothes, old books, boxes, furniture, toys, carpets, coatings, corners and cracks.

The spider has a powerful poison and occasionally bites a person, thus causing local injuries and sometimes more common symptoms. The poison causes the necrosis of the soft tissue that starts as a local inflammation with reddening, edemas and pain.
THE BITE
The initial bite is usually painless. At first, the bite appears in the area is swollen all around the bite. This area expands, changes to red and the skin appears to harden. The victim shows other symptoms such as fever, shivering, nausea and vomits.
