Wow that looks nasty! I suppose you are on some infection killing drugs and I'll bet you were told to watch out for blood poisoning (red streaking). I believe the wound is packed so it will heal from the inside out and drain properly. I had a chest tube site get infected and it was packed much like your arm is. I had to change it and clean with sterile water several times a day. I, however, didn't have to worry about the poison from a bite.
I suggest you inspect your 4runner carefully in case you have any more uninvited guests. Perhaps even fogging with some insecticide that kills the recluse and anything else for that matter.

Glad you're OKAY Jeff! Fortunately it only got you in the elbow and not somewhere else more painful.
BTW, it's amazing how you can take such clear and vivid pictures of things people really don't want to see

Get better soon! Sh*t happens! Last year we went to Cancun, Mexico, and on the first day of a week I ended up cutting my head (the top, thankfully not my face) and ended up getting 4 staples from a very sketchy doctors in a Mexican Hospital. Get better soon!!! And yes, staples, not stitches haha.
EDIT: And yeah that definitely is a recluse. Those things are nasty and poisonous! In NC I have heard many stories of people being allergic and not making it after being bitten by one, so thank the stars!

Dude... some of those pictures need to be censored out.
Glad they didn't need to amputate. Get better soon Mr. Antman.

Insecticide will not kill them very easily, those things are nasty and refuse to die. In the farm at Fuquay one of the houses like 2 miles away that everyone talks about got knocked down and had their land burned since that whole family was plagued with being in the hospital 24/7.
Y'all should go check out the show "Infested", they show personal stories like these all the time, I think it's on APL, one of my favorite shows!
It's basically a show about someone's house getting infested with Bats, other poisonous animals that range from bats to raccoon, and even scorpions, and most commonly: bed bugs, these spiders and those lovely little roaches. It shows the ER stories of the home residents and how hard it is to get rid of these pests.

Thanks guys.
I'm actually back at the ER now. Been sick and vomiting all day so I cant keep my meds down. 3 nights in a row here is 3 nights too many.
Can't wait to get this into my primary Dr's hands- hopefully Wed.
I think I will leave all of this with aracnaphobia.

Keep taking pics of the affected area and keep a log of how you feel, as I am sure you are already doing, both on this site and mentally. Symptoms can help a Dr. diagnose something like this much easier, since the spider is no longer available for examination.
Feel better man. Keep us updated!
