The Brown Recluse is a very common spider here in my part of Idaho. The bites are nasty because they induce local necrosis. Partial amputation of fingers is a not uncommon result. A Cow-orker (sorry, hyphenated that way is a private joke) of mine had one set up shop in her jacket she kept in the office. On the day she chose to wear it, she got bitten 7 times on the arm. The divots left behind make it look like she had smallpox.
