Brown Recluse Spider Is Sometimes to Blame When Anemia Strikes

This artical was about how the Brown Recluse spider can be a cause of acute anemia. Doctors usually don't check for spider bites when diagnosing anemia-which can be cause by the Brown Recluse spider. The bites are rarely checked because most people do not know when they are bitten by one of them because they are generally painless. These particual spiders can also cause blood clotting and kidney failure. Although this is much more rare than anemia. Children and adolescents seem to have more chance of these problems occurring. 3o percent of the spider bites lead to a problem like this.

This article scares me a bit because I know we have this type of spider near my house. It also interests me because I've had anemia before. It makes me wonder if a spider bite could have been the reason why. It also gives me a sense of relief because they are now figuring out these kinds of things. It could help a lot of people and help doctor's diagnose anemia's causes faster because they now have another option.
