Black widow spider bites are typically felt by the victim and
can rapidly progress from local pain to severe cramps in
large muscle groups. Patients may have associated
hypertension. Treatment consists of adequate analgesia and
Latrodectus antivenom. In contrast, Brown recluse spider
bites are often initially painless. The wound may progress
from erythematous lesion to blistering and necrosis and
leave a poorly healing ulcer. Associated systemic symptoms,
including hemolysis and disseminated intravascular
coagulation are rare. Hobo spider bites may present
similarly to Brown recluse bites. Headache, nausea, and
fatigue are the most commonly associated systemic
symptoms. Bark scorpion venom contains a neurotoxin that
causes local pain and paresthesias. Severe cases may
demonstrate cranial nerve dysfunction, excessive motor
activity, nausea
