AB Envenomation  from  most  species  of  spiders  in  the  United  States  causes  only  local  pain,  redness,  and  swelling.  The  more  venomous  black  widow  spiders  (Latrodectus  mactans)  cause  generalized  muscular  pains,  muscle  spasms,  and  rigidity.  The  brown  recluse  spider  (Loxosceles  reclusa)  causes  progressive  local  necrosis  as  well  as  hemolytic  reactions  (rare).
