I've seen some crazy pictures about what they can do to people.

I've seen more than just pictures. They are very common around here. My father in law got bit on the foot and it was really disgusting. At one point they thought they might need to amputate but he recovered nicely and now there's just a depression and a lot of scarring there. A woman I used to work with sat on one and it bit her right butt cheek. She lost about half of that butt cheek.
Thing is, only about 25% of people are going to get the reaction you see in those pictures. Most people, it doesn't do much.
A friend of mine, we call him the Recluse Whisperer. He can find them like nobody's business. We'll be at someone's house and he'll just kinda glance around and say "You know you got two brown recluses in this room?" and the host will be all
when he points them out and then kills them dead. We have an exterminator that comes to our house every two months like clockwork.
