Got bit by a spider once that ended up really bad. Wound control for like a year on my leg.
did they have to remove flesh, or stay an open wound for months.... sounds like a recluse. those bites can be bad and takes months and months to heal.....

I had a spider bite on the top of my left eyebrow near the bridge of my nose. It was horrible. I woke up with it. The thought of a spider on my face while sleeping is still unnerving. It left a scar and took a very long time to heal. If I remember right I think I went to the dr. The scar has faded now but was really visible for many years.

They said recluse, and debriding plus open heal for almost a year. I still have a scar from that thing...and a slight "dent".

That sounds horrible. I think mine took a month or more to heal. I was shocked at having a scar on my face. I had to cover it up with makeup.

lol.... i think its just an urban legend... but does show that a lot of people probably do wake up with a spider on their face....which in turn spawned the tall tales/urban legends
