Yes the brown recluse is more venomous because the toxin goes through your blood and destroys tissue if it isn't treated then you might have to get it amputated EDIT the venoms toxicity is comparable to each other, however the types are different so an answer based on the effects of the venom of a brown recluse over that of a black widow is invalid, the only way to determine an answer for this is to use a comparison in the quantities required to form a lethal dose, this is usually done by extrapolating upwards via a lethal dose in a mouse,... because you would kill a person to find out directly otherwise.

Would a black widow or a brown recluse win a fight?

the brown recluse would win because of the scaring and the blue red discoloration: answer- actually I just put these two spiders in the same container and watched them fight to the death. The brown recluse didn't really do anything, but the black widow spun its web and when the brown recluse got stuck inside of i, it was game over.. the black widow attacked the brown recluse by stabbing it with it's back legs and then bit it multiple times. Now the black widow is posted up in the corner of the container full.
