I need stories and pics of people who have been bitten by either/or L. reclusa and Latrodectus sp. (brown recluse, widow spiders). I am researching thier venoms and reactions to the venoms. I need lots of stories and pics of bitten areas.

No personal testimonials here. But here is a recommendation try reading The Red Hourglass: Lives of the Predators by Gordon Grice. He includes some bogus misinformation but alot of it is authentic and comes the heart. Quite an energetic arachnophile if not a bit bent. LoL!

On pages 47-56, there is a 1933 harrowing account of Dr. Allen Blair, M.D., University of Alabama who subjegates himself to serious Latrodectus envemonation, which leads to latrodectism poisoning of the worst kind. All to prove the toxicity of the Black Widow is a deadly concern and prove his colleagues wrong those that adhere to Widow lack of lethality that was popularly proposed during this age. In some ways, both parties were right, the Widow should never be underestimated and it should never be wrongly maligned either. Anyway, Grice is a very talented writer and the book is thoroughly enjoyable even for sensational sake. And Grice provides an excellent play by play account of Dr. Blair's mortal tribulation in most fascinating manner. I love this book but by no means should be clung to via any scientific definitions.
