Brown Recluse Spider Bites..

[DaughteroftheKing]

*Posted in AZ thread as well as these spiders are found mostly there..

My sister is having a problem with getting tons of spider bites!

She has had 3 in the last 2 months, 2 of those in the last 3 days!

She knows when she has one because she starts feeling nauseous, and she goes to the Drs & he says "yep thats what it is" & gives her some abx and she eventually feels better.

Also, the nurse I work with had a sister who also constantly got bit by these spiders!

My question (not medical advice.. I know :) ) is that it seems that only certain people get bit .. is there something that the spiders can smell or sense? Why do no other members of my family get bit??

It just seems really odd that none of us have even seen one yet my sister who lives with us has gotten bit numerous times!

Also, if its a spider bite, why would a Dr prescribe an antibiotic,wouldnt it be like an anti venom or something & why does antibiotics work?

Thanks for the help!!
