[QUOTE="JR777, post: 3607054, member: 45725"] Again, HUGE difference between what's pictured in the OP and what that gentleman described, which does indeed sound like a genuine necrotizing spider bite. I've seen real recluse bites before, and believe me, there's no mistaking it. What OP had was a simple boil, staph to be sure, and probably MRSA. If the spider bite had anything to do with it at all then it was a secondary infection, not spider venom. More than likely though it was just a run of the mill cyst that subsequently became infected with staph (again, probably MRSA). It's just a little fold in the skin where the cells get sluffed off inwards and trapped in a sack, which is the granulated white stuff he described. The bloody puss was the bacterial infection secondary to that. His body isolated the infection, and it formed a head and popped and drained, which is exactly what's supposed to happen. [/QUOTE]
