Quick Answer. Symptoms of a brown recluse spider bite include minor burning, white blisters and severe pain at the bite site, followed by severe itching, nausea, vomiting, fever and muscle pain, according to eMedicineHealth. The initial bite may just look red with fang marks before healing during the next few weeks after the bite.
In very severe situations the brown recluse spider bites may cause necrosis straight to the bone. Individuals that die from a spider bite are usually young children or the elderly. Adults that have good immune systems can survive a brown recluse bite, but may be ill for several weeks. Going untreated for a long period of time can lead to secondary infections and several other complications.
