摘要
The bite of the brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusus, can cause necrotic skin wounds. However, the evidence strongly suggests that many skin reactions are milder, that lesions attributed to bites by this quarter-sized arthropod often have other causes, and that the spider is less aggressive than commonly believed. The efficacy of various proposed treatments remains in question.
