Bite of the Brown Recluse

possible false photo?
Dear Bug Man,
One more thing regarding your picture of the Brown Recluse spider bite. These pictures were also passed around in 2003 when I was in the Navy. It passed around our ship and everybody was frightened because there were reports of spider bites in my ship. I checked at this address :

and it could be false photos. The last two pictures look computer rendered. thanks alot!

Hi John,
We post the images that people send to us. We are not fully convinced they are either genuine or a hoax.
