yea i got bit by brown recluse on on the back of my neck. those things aint no fucken joke. it felt like i got hit with a bat on the back of my neck when i woke up. the pain wouldnt go away it would just get worse and worse. when to the E.R the next day they opened that shit up and instantly it was better. but now i have a good sized scar on my neck.
In Nevada? I dont know, they are indegenous to the South East of the US, not the West. Ther are otehr spiders that look very similar to Brown Recluses though.

Also, they rarely actually bite either:
"As indicated by its name, this spider is not aggressive and usually bites only when pressed against human skin, such as when tangled up within clothes, bath towels, or in bedding.[5] In fact, many wounds that are necrotic and diagnosed as brown recluse bites can actually be Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Actual brown recluse bites are rare. Brown recluse bites may produce a range of symptoms known as loxoscelism. There are two types of loxoscelism: cutaneous (skin) and systemic (viscerocutaneous).
Most bites are minor with no necrosis."
