61. Brown Recluse Spiders

During a chat with Loyola University, biology teacher David Rivers shared a story about brown recluse spiders. He said, “When I was in the National Guard, a friend of mine got bit by a brown recluse and had to be discharged from basic training. They’re not uncommon. When they bite, sometimes you get lucky and nothing happens. If you’re unlucky, it can cause tissue death.”
