A friend was bitten by a Brown Recluse several years ago and the doctor's biggest concern was necrosis setting in.

The one thing that has stuck with me from the research we did at the time - aside from the whole pain and necrosis concern - was that the Brown Recluse doesn't "groom" itself the way most spiders do. As such your normal spider sprays/powders/etc will rarely get them because they won't get the chemical in their mouth. The only thing that's pretty much guaranteed to get them is fumigating the whole house and garage if it's not part of the house. (Disclaimer - I can't swear the above info is factual but it's the way I remember it.)

Hope you heal up without any permanent scars - Good luck!
