I met a guy while diving a few weeks ago who was bitten by a brown recluse spider. He had a NASTY reaction to the bite -- went unconscious and his heart stopped. Luckily, he works at a small local airfield where a few of the employees are EMTs, and they had him in the ER within minutes. Ever since then, I've been eyeing the spiders in the basement a little differently...call me paranoid.
