I lived in an apartment infested with brown recluses for about 2 1/2 years about 8 years ago. Brrrrr!!!! That was very scary. Especially the part about the management not really caring all that much! I don't believe there are recluses in the northeast. I never heard of them until I came to St. Louis. And didn't put the name together with those little brown spiders that were all over our apartment until we'd been in there for about a year. I always figured they were big tarantula sorts of spiders. Nope. Then one of my friends had a problem with them and told me what they looked like. Hmmmm, I said, that sounds an awful lot like what we kill on a regular basis in our apartment! Aaaahhhhhh!!!!! Not a fun experience. Though I did read an article a few weeks ago that said that brown recluses might not be as deadly as is commonly thought. Something about there not being a single recorded fatality from a recluse bite and the fact that lots of reports of recluse bites from from states where there aren't any brown recluses! So the research believed that doctors are misdiagnosising other skin conditions as recluse bites. I don't know. I'm just glad I haven't seen one for 8 years! - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
