...Loxosceles reclusd) was not believed to have such a potential until the late 1950s, when doctors at the University of Missouri identified it as the cause of bites that stubbornly refused to heal. In 1957, a University of Kansas instructor suffered a bite that turned gangrenous and created a wound three inches across. Physicians at the University of Arkansas saw more cases, and have made the brown recluse their specialty...
