    I got bit by a brown recluse when I was sleeping. They had to cut open my finger because I let it get swollen for a couple days. It first started out as a pimple, then my finger started to turn purple after awhile. I went to the hospital like a week after getting bit and they said I was like 2-3 days away from having a heart attack because it was causing the blood in my finger to clot. Still thinking about getting a spider man tattoo. Also, fuck brown recluses.

      Fun fact, not everyone is reactive to it. I lived in a house with an infestation and got bit a ton and it never effected me, just regular spider bite redness.
