Abstract
In the United States most spider bites can be attributed to the black widow (Lactrodectus mactans), the brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa), and the hobo spider (Tegenaria agrestis). Identification of these spiders, classification of bites, biting tendencies, and prevention of spider bites will be discussed. Differential diagnosis of necrotic arachnidism including systemic effects and management of spider bites is included in this paper.
