Family Survives Five Years with 2,000 Brown Recluse Spiders
A Kansas family lived with over 2,000 brown recluse spiders for five years without any bites, highlighting that these spiders are less aggressive and less dangerous than commonly believed. The study emphasizes that brown recluse bites are rare, usually minor, and often misdiagnosed, and that proper identification and understanding of their behavior can reduce unnecessary fear and medical concerns.
