the brown reclus cause if it bites you your organs can rearrange
...and that's about the most stupid answer I've ever seen.
Actually, a black widow's venom is a "neurotoxin," which means it effects the nervous system of the body. It's meant to completely paralyze their prey, and eventually kills them as well... but the venom is strong enough that it can seriously effect humans. Young children, elderly, and those who are weak in health can easily die from the effects of a black widow bite. The neurological effects include extreme nervousness, jitters, sweating, and aching joints, as well as nausea, vomiting, and extreme fatigue. A healthy adult can usually survive a black widow bite if not treated, but it won't be a pleasant recovery. However, just as some people are allergic to bees and ants, a healthy person could have an allergic reaction along with the other symptoms, which could surely kill them, so it should never be ignored.
There are also cases of plumbers, construction workers, air conditioning techs, and other high risk jobs that run into black widows constantly, that build up an immunity to their bites to the point it's no more than a bee sting to them.
A recluse's venom, however, has more of a dissolving effect. Actually, most Spiders' venom does this, as it dissolves the innards of whatever it's trying to eat, and the spider "drinks" their prey, leaving only the hollow shells you sometimes see hanging in spiderwebs. But a recluse's venom is overkill. When a human is bitten, the dissolving effect can continue to the point of requiring amputation of a limb if ignored, or death if it's not eventually treated, regardless of the health of the victim.
As for which is deadlier overall.... It's literally a matter of "pick your poison..."

∙ 11y agoThe brown recluse spider could be the deadliest spider, and it is found in backyards and homes everywhere. Its common name is the "violin spider" because of a dark spot on its upper body that looks like a violin. Once it was thought that the brown recluse could not survive a harsh winter and was confined to warmer climates. Then, it became apparent that modern homes offer an attractive warm place to make it through the coldest winters.
Brown Recluse HabitatThe brown recluse spider used to be found mostly in the Midwestern states from the center of the nation on down to the Gulf of Mexico. It has since traveled everywhere hitching a ride in vehicles and packages. It really is a reclusive spider, hence its name. It will bite humans if it is accidentally touched while putting on clothing or grabbing an object. They nest in any object that is left undisturbed for a time.
The Brown Recluse BiteThe bite of a brown recluse is not necessarily painful. Many do not even realize they have been bitten. A small mark may be all that is seen the first day or so. The spider's venom causes the flesh around the wound to die. Some individuals, especially children, the elderly and frail are more susceptible to major tissue damage being caused by the bite. There have been instances of amputation of whole limbs being necessary to stop the spread of dying flesh.
TreatmentIf the spider is positively identified, the bite area can be surgically removed before it has a chance to spread. However, since the bite may be only a red mark that does not get worse for a few days, it is easy for a doctor to not treat the wound correctly. Being able to produce the spider that made the bite is the only conclusive way to make a proper treatment decision.
Be careful reaching into dark spaces or putting on clothes that have been in storage. Look before touching or removing items from boxes or dark cabinets. Keep children from playing in places such as under decks or porches. Wear gloves when cleaning out an attic, garage or outbuilding. The brown recluse would rather run away, but it will bite if threatened.

∙ 11y agoA spider bite can be a serious thing to try and overcome by even the healthiest of people. If you are even bitter by a Brown Recluse spider, you should seek medical attention immediately. You could easily die if you are bitten by one. A doctor will give you an injection that will start to fight the venom.
Brown Recluse Spiders Are LargeYou will know if you have a Brown Recluse spider in your presence because you will notice just how large it is. It is generally larger than a quarter and can be as large as half-dollar. If you see one of them, you should try to kill it or get it outside of your home as soon as possible.
Why Are They Known As A Recluse Spider?They are given their name because they can be rather hard to find. If you see one in your home, you may not see it again if you turn around again. They will try to stay out of sight as much as possible. In fact, you may not even know if you have one in the house if you don't actually see it. Therefore, you shouldn't be too alarmed about the prospect of it attacking you. It is more scared of you than you are of it.
How Do I Capture One?As with other deadly spiders, you should not try to grab one with your bare hands. Instead, you should try to trap it as gently as possible. If your need to kill it, you can drown it with water or some other liquid.
It is hard to overcome a spider bite once even a few minutes have passed. Therefore, do not wait to be seen once you have been bitten. Call 911 immediately if you are not within a few minutes of a hospital. Getting help as soon as possible can be the difference between life and death.

Learning about the Characteristics of the Brown Recluse Spider?
Out of the thousands of species of spiders in the world the brown recluse has some of the most fascinating characteristics. Consider these unique traits of the brown recluse spider. A brown recluse spider lives up to its name by spending most of its time in quiet, dark spaces. Brown recluses make their homes in crawl spaces underneath buildings, corners of attics, and even under fallen logs. These spiders live in places where there is very little human activity. Though these spiders are not aggressive, they will bite if they feel threatened. Since brown recluses don't like to be around humans, bites usually occur in an accidental way. For instance, a person may try on a pair of shoes that have been in the attic for several years only to get a bite from a brown recluse that has made its home in the old shoes. In short, it's rare to find a brown recluse wandering around outside its home. Another interesting characteristic of a brown recluse spider is the marking on its back. Sometimes brown recluses are called, fiddle spiders' because of the marking that looks like a violin on the upper side of their body. Trying to identify a brown recluse spider by this marking can be tricky because the design may be hard to see especially if it's a young spider. Furthermore, not all brown recluses are the same shade of brown. Some are light brown while others are dark brown. It may take an entomologist to determine whether a brown spider is indeed a brown recluse. There are many brown spiders that have been misidentified as brown recluses. Unlike many other spiders, a brown recluse doesn't use a web to catch its food. These spiders hunt during the night and feed on insects both alive and dead. They kill insects with their venom. The final trait that makes the brown recluse different from many other spiders is that it has six eyes instead of eight. It has three pairs of eyes in specific places on its head. Most spiders have eight eyes organized in rows.

What if your husband came home with 4 inch bruise with what looks like a bug or spider bite in the center of it how do you treat it?
Ice it and if it gets any worse it may be from a brown recluse or black widow. Be sure that the "bruise" is really a bruise. If he was bitten by a brown recluse, it may already be necrotizing and needs to be taken care of by a doctor.
What spiders are poisonous?
Only a few species are seriously poisonous to humans. There are these few Spiders: black widow, African brown spider, bird spider, and if you ever see a spider with a violin shape on its back stay clear this spider can kill and is known for it. *Edit: The violin spider (or Brown Recluse, Loxosceles Reclusa, or Fiddleback spider) mentioned above is NOT deadly. It is difficult for doctors to diagnose spider bites, and the bite of this particular spider looks very similar to other serious conditions, so a lot of pictures/stories you see/hear about this spider being deadly are false. Though not deadly, this spider does cause very serious wounds and should be avoided. It is not aggressive.
