This is what happens when a bite from a Brown Recluse spider goes untreated.

For 6 days.



See this guy? Don't be this guy!

Sweet Jesus.

I wonder what the eventual tissue damage to his wrist will be if it will impair mobility and what kind of scar that will leave?

I disagree with one of his subtitle when he says it wasn't necrosis. It was necrosis. Necrosis starts within _hours_ of a bite from a brown recluse, that's why they're so deadly.

If the asshat knew it was a brown recluse, why the fuck did he video tape it for 6 days instead of getting his ass to the ER?

Defiantly a Darwin runner up

If [livejournal.com profile] nachtfuchs is on your friends list, you should REALLY put this behind a cut with a warning :) He's arachnophobic :)

I felt kinda bad for the guy until he said he knew what kind of spider it was. If he knew enough to know what kind of spider it was, he should have known to get to the doctor as soon as he got bit.

Fucking red neck.

Hate spiders SOOOO much. Why this dumby didnt go to the er sooner one will never know. I have had a spider bite get bad before. Let me tell you getting that lanced was like pumping terpentine directly into my NERVES. Afterward I apologised to the nurse for yelling aparently it hurt so bad my throat siezed and I just thought I was yelling . NEVER again shudders.

I'm guessing this type of video would not be possible in a country that provides free medical care to all its citizens (thus people don't need to wait till it's too late). Go USA!

Actually, this kinda reminds me of a similar situation I had. I had what I thought was gas or abdominal pain for a while, then fever, then some REALLY godawefull hurting around my lower back, but I thought I was just ill with some cold or had a cramp from sleeping in a bad positon or something, and being at the time between jobs, didn't wat to go to the hospital, since I wouldn't be able to afford the at-least $300 fee they would stick me with. It took my parents to come up to my house (hour away), pick me up, and drive me to the hospital themselves for me to finally go. Turns out I had a kidney stone. I was never so glad to receive a shot in my life (of morphine).
