I was told a few weeks back by an ER surgeon that L. reclusa aren't in central/southern Florida. He said there has never been a documented bite other than in northern Florida.
I was wondering if anyone has either personally seen L. reclusa in Florida (meaning proper identification has been made) or knows how to search hospital/doctor records to find out if this is true or not.
I keep hearing of all these people who have been bit by them, but nobody has the spider to prove it. I'd like some solid proof.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
