[quote:Anonymous Coward 375971:MV8xMDc0NzQ0XzE3MTAxNjE4XzE1NEUxODNE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 979112] Where do they come from ? Maybe they came with some shipment with illegal Mexisubs or some gooks from Asia. [/quote] I heard from produce shipped to U.S. from Mexico, Central America and South America. Local county health Dept. told me that but they also told me that we don't have them in Northern California when we do. They said that they can't survive our cold winters. I got bit by one in my basement. Thought it was just a harmless spider bite. Two days later I left for a trip to see my son graduate from ERAU in Arizona. The bite was just a small red thing on my finger at that point but hurting a bit. Half way there the bite turned into this horrible gross thing that kept growing and you could see fluids swirling around in it. Still kept driving so as not to miss graduation. By the time I got to Prescott I was in immense pain and went to hospital there. They told me it was a brown recluse bite (and even called in a brown recluse expert) and did emergency surgery. My arm had red streaks going up it almost to shoulder. If it had reached my heart I wouldn't be here typing this! The Arizona docs also told me that I was really lucky that I was coming to Arizona after this happened. They said California doctors have no clue. They said to report it to my local health Dept. when I got home but that they'd tell me it wasn't brown recluse. Well that's exactly what the health dept. said. I then called an expert at UC Davis and she told me that we don't have them In Northern California. So if you get bit by one in Northern Calif. get your ass to Arizona! There are up here and survive just fine through winter indoors and in other protected areas. [/quote]
