I live in Kansas City, MO. They're everywhere around here. Have found them in my house several times and even been bitten by them. I guess I'm just lucky but I never had an overly bad reaction to their venom. (knock on wood)

I think you may just be lucky, they may dry bite, or maybe there’s some folks with antibodies. I have a 2-month-old recluse bite wound on my leg, it’s currently an open wound about 1.5 inches across. Been through debridement, 3 courses of antibiotics, etc. Appointment at a wound clinic next week to see if there’s anything can be done.

I too have been bitten multiple times in the past with no serious effect, just a black spot that healed slowly and left a tiny acne-like scar.

Sorry to hear about your leg!!

Me fear of them just increased dramatically. I thought I was immune but may just have been lucky, as you said.
