brown recluse bite
Necrotic spider injury
A brown recluse bite is a wound inflicted by the brown recluse spider, a venomous species found mainly in the central and southern United States.
The bite often goes unnoticed initially but can develop into a necrotic lesion—tissue death spreading outward from the wound site.
Most bites heal without serious complications, though severe cases require medical treatment.
The doctor confirmed it was a brown recluse bite and prescribed antibiotics.
