» Spider bite while human is sleeping

The Brown Recluse Spider has nocturne habits; thus, during daylight these arachnids remain in their nests, made up of random threads of spider web. They leave their secure place at night in search for food (insects and sometimes other spiders). During this long night walks, the brown recluse spider can crawl down the walls and get into your bed, or well climb it through the hanging bed sheets.

The Brown Recluse Spider does not bite without a good reason, and of course the human is not "food" for any arachnid; spiders do not feed upon human blood as other insects do.

Are there probabilities that a spider bites a human while is sleeping?

These spots mark the places where the BRS can be found inside your home.

Facts show that the chance a brown recluse spider bites a human while is sleeping is very low, even in the case when the individual rolls over it in their sleep. Best chances are you will kill the arachnid under your weight before it has the opportunity to defend itself.

So when does accidents happen?

Accidents happen generally when a hidden Brown Recluse Spider is trapped inside the clothes at the time the victim is getting dressed, or when people put on shoes where spiders have nested. Back to the sleeping case, the bite will not wake you up, but the victim can certainly be awaken after a while, because of the pain and the inflammation of the affected area. If a person wakes up with several small bites, the BRS is certainly not responsable for them; these sort of injuries are caused by fleas, lice, bedbugs, mosquitos and also some species of flies. Also the mechanical rubbing, allergies and sitemic diseases can produce this type of injuries.
