i somewhat doubt all those are loxoscelism. they didn't once state that a recovered spider was provided for positive ID. plus i seem to recall reading that recluse venom might not be as hot shtuff as might be imagined

and there are plenty of gnarly things out there conclusively proved to damage like that

certainly is terrible, whatever it is, though... especially Leg-Guy

I can promise you that it is no walk in the park. The scar I've had for almost 10 years on my back from L. reclusa (captured spider - confirmed ID) says that it's extremely unpleasant in the very least. The bite on my back looked similar to the last pictures (of the woman's finger), but I was treated almost immediately upon discovering a blister.
