    I got bit on the hand reaching into a water meter box up by the street. It hurt worse than the rattle snake bite when I was teenager! Ached for weeks afterwards.

    @Stephen any flesh rot?

    Only a very small bit from both of those bites. It was cut back by a surgeon in the ER both times and healed up with minimal scarring. I was lucky. I have a buddy that got into a brown recluse and THAT ate him up.
