The thing is that brown recluse was just standing its ground.

So we’re thinking the spider will be okay, then. Thank you for your very informative thread.

Thinking about my uncle who had *several pounds* of flesh removed from his leg thanks to the infection from a recluse bite.

I love this for him

Kenneth Robert Marlo44

I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, of course, but… "The communists couldn't take me out and i'll be damned if I let a brown recluse take me out," Rittenhouse wrote in a post on X. …is EXACTLY the kind of thing said by an idiot eventually taken out by a brown recluse. 🤣

Rich, Race Communist38

Brown Recluse spider, welcome to the resistance

Marianne Denton30

Thank you for doing our arachnid overlords work. I’m not a spider expert, but the number of times I’ve heard in my area: I saw a Brown Recluse! (no you didn’t) A Brown Recluse viciously bit my foot! (no it didn’t) Is this a Brown Recluse? (pic of what was probably once a wolf spider) No, it is not.

SirFox28

Sending sympathy and best wishes to the spider.

CamelSpyder24

oh no! is the brown recluse ok? poor little guy must have been traumatized after biting something that nasty

Cheryl McNeilly23

well-explained! my mother couldn't use her right arm for months after a brown recluse bite when I was about seven it was very scary ALSO it was the 70s so she just taught me how to use the gearshift on our VW bug so she could drive

Charlotte Moore-Lambert19

has anyone confirmed it’s Loxosceles? I mean I would laugh quite a lot if it was, but you know how often recluses get blamed when no one recovered the spider or even saw a spider do it

Ian Boudreau19

Here's how this lined up for me

Dan18

Does the spider have a GoFundMe or....?

NOT Lenny Bruce14

But, is the spider ok?

Just a Guy in Switzerland13

Black Widows, Brown Recluse... where my White spiders at?!

Brainmist11

Spiderspide! Spiderspide! Called 'Recluse' 'cause it likes to hide! Bit that shit on the thigh! Such a shame if he were to go necrotic or have other complications! Karma! Straight from the Spiderspide!

Antifa H.R. Manager on Blueskee11

Thanks Dante...but I haven't seen any confirmation that the bite was actually from a Brown Recluse...and Raw Story isn't exactly a font of accurate information. Signed, Husband of a Brown Recluse victim.

Grand Theft Artaud10

Gonna give that spider a bottle of water and take it out to burger king.

Captain Sidecar9

Shit. I hope the spider's OK.

Martha Crawford8

@penaltyboxpro.bsky.social (I mean its Rittenhouse but brown recluses are legit terrifying as you well know)

Noah Joad8

Why would Joe Biden do this?

John McLaren8

Live your life so people don’t high-five each other when they hear that you’ve been bitten by a spider.

Logic Thinker8

My question is, is the spider ok after biting a vile repulsive soulless person?

Dr. Penjamin @ Fanime7

judging by the picture of the bite, it appears to be on his ass so… necrotizing ass crater?

Socky Noob7

I have some unfortunate news about our spider friend here. It's highly unlikely Kyle Shitterhouse will be in any danger of life altering injuries. entomologytoday.org/2026/03/05/s...

Simeon Pundit7

I knew a guy who died from a Brown Recluse spider bite. He was overweight and in mediocre shape. So this is promising.

Otterly EA7

My burning question: is the spider okay?

Flynn Jeux7

I was bitten by a brown recluse when I was a teenager and they almost ended up cutting my leg off. very excited for kyle. he deserves it.

Mark Anderson7

Yeah, Brown Recluses have always scared me.

The greatest piece of pro-spider propaganda in history

Warning Eagle6

Hi Spider Expert! Former Brown Recluse victim here. I can vouch for everything you said. Didn't notice the bite, when I did, my hand looked like trump's. I was visiting a country/city where Recluses are a public health issue, the hospital knew what to do. Recovery was long, painful. Good for Kyle.

Here's hoping it bit him in the nuts.

The brown recluse traveled from Georgia to bite him.

Brown recluses can be fatal! Hope the spider is okay!

Jeff From Ohio5

If my comic books were telling the truth, this means the spider will eventually morph into a douche bag

It would be horrible if he got antibiotic resistant gangrene.

This spider should be in the hall of fame. Thank you for your service, Dante. Very well said.

Mary!! 🐓❤️3

that spider is my hero, didn't think I could love my small friends more lol

dogemperor (PLAY NEO:TWEWY, ZEPTOGRAMS)3

I never thought I'd actively be rooting for the brown recluse spider, but here we are (As long as brown recluses respect the Human-Arachnid Compact I'm fine with 'em. Said compact: "Don't come in my house, stay outside & eat the bugs outside like mosquitos that I don't want in the house" 🕷️)

Tian Pei3

I hope the spider is okay.

/home/numbakrunch3

Not wishing harm but it would be hella funny if he lost an arm like that one guy he shot.

comrademuppet.bsky.social3

Do we know if the spider bit him on the wiener?

Dr. Acula, M. D.3

Hopefully the spider is ok.

Actual Bear3

I hope the spider doesn't turn into a radioactive murderer

LD3

Great news! What does the hospital admission suggest about the severity of his particular case? Is it safe to assume there’s some suffering involved? Thank you for your service.

Dario Rivero3

Many are asking, is the spider ok?

OtakuNoRico 🇺🇦🇵🇸3

I hope that Brown Recluse bit him right in the nuts.

Anonymous Choice ☮️2

There ain't no karma like spider bite karma! 🕷

Ru Temple 🌈🧶🫛2

The article mentions he drove (as in drove himself) to Kenosha for his (premeditated) shooting spree. I recall it was his mogher who drove him across that state line. I do not recall whether or not he was a minor at the time. Recluse spider bite couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

LAZARUS2

🥴🥴🥴it's no wonder I'm half crazy...the world is on the brink and we pause to see Kyle Rittenhouse' spider bite. This century is so very strange.

Ayyymos2

I really appreciate the informative thread without pictures! I’m fascinated by spiders and would love to know more about them, but pictures set off my panic response enough to seriously ruin my day.

Dr. Who2

Hoping for a slice of worst case scenario brought to you by karma is a bitch

Rick Taylor2

I know it's probably wrong to be on the spiders side... ...Hopefully, it will effect the muscles that control his trigger finger.

Wtf I love spiders now

Coincidentally I was discussing necrotising fasciitis only this afternoon. Small world!

I wish for his healing as much as he would wish for his victims' healing.

One of these fucked up my right leg in 2006.

Please let the spider win.

Led Zepbound2

A brown recluse bite caused the liver failure that killed Jeff Hanneman from Slayer. I consider this their apology

Ms. Trannÿ of Tÿranny 🏳️‍⚧️2

To be honest, I have to admit that I don't care about this one after he murdered those people and got away with it.

Jenova's Witness2

my high school biology teacher liked to gross us out by showing the knot of his calf missing from when he got bit by one.

Steve Delfino2

Please check in on the spider

NanC Lo2

I hope the spider is doing ok.

muddy cat 🐈‍⬛ 🐾🐾🐾🐾2

Too bad So sad Never mind

techwriterkc.bsky.social2

It looks like it bit him close to his hairy ass.

MonkishNerd2

I hope to God that poor spider is okay! Maybe he has some widow friends he could have over for dinner. 🕷🕷️

On my soapbox2

I hope the spider is doing OK.

dragonlady1011.bsky.social40

Do you have an address we can send get well cards to for the spider I mean I hope he suffers and suffers that little shit should be in jail

InsaneChihuahua30

Kyle loudly complaining, "why the hell was it a 'brown' recluse? Where are all the 'white' recluses?"

Did it's mommy cross state lines with it to find him?

mr mo0n29

Karma is a weird beast. If he were in prison, where he belongs- he wouldn’t have had to been bitten by a venomous spider. Karma…

Teri24

Lil brown: Thank you! It had to be done. Vote blue!

Oh No! Poor Crying Kyle 🐀in🏠 My sympathy to the🕷️ #KyleRittenhouse

I’d love to see the bite wound!

Brilliant. Antifa is recruiting arachnids 🕷️ Ill gladly make a comfy space in my garden for their services

Tom Joad15

That's the best news I've heard all day. I hear they're horrifically painful and gross

Denali FOREVER 🎨🖌🐈‍⬛13

Does the recluse have a gofundme? You know the little whiner is going to sue.

✨️Colette✨️13

Great. Now the fucker will think he's Spiderman 😮‍💨😂

It couldn’t happen to a better person. I’m rooting for the spider to win.

Grandma 9

Hope the recluse has been given an antibiotic. Feel well Ms Brown.

Kev Lucky - Butter chicken loving communist8

The silly little boy is going to think he's Spiderman now. It was bad enough when he thought he was Rambo.

Wobedraggled8

Happened to me in 2018, I hope his is worse...

Kevin W. Kaufhold8

The first Brown Recluse to experience necrosis.

Andy in ATL6

Willing to bet there a more than a few brown recluses that would love to do the same...

Xenubarb6

May his trigger fingers rot off.

opp36467.bsky.social5

Actually did not know venous toads where affected by venom, good to know, more options

jimalb1.bsky.social5

probably crossed state lines and shot it.

Tim W. ☮️5

The spider was whisked from the scene and is safely back under the front porch.

Mark5

just one??? not the whole family?? are you sure one bite is enough??

Call Me Maybe5

Hope he’s in a ton of pain.

Chuck Walker5

Oh no! I hope Kyle doesn't doesn't suffer any minor symptoms from this. Serious symptoms, however, ...

NorCal-OldMan5

My dad complained quite a bit about a wound he attributed to a recluse bite.. Hurt for years after.

Unclepatrick 5

is the spider doing well ?

Moi c’est Glenn4

The spider was scared and has the right to stand its ground.

ajsaxx.bsky.social4

I wish I could buy that spider a beer 🍻

Jason4

My stepmother was bitten by a brown recluse. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. She spent two weeks in the hospital and sadly recovered before the bite ate through her soul.

Jeff4

My heart goes out… To the spider.

Pacific Blues4

Did it bite his trigger finger?

glap75.bsky.social4

If the spider needs some blood or an organ donor give me a call

Neil Mick4

Wait, was there an spider doctor in the house? Did it break any of its legs? Oh the Arachnoid-ity! 🕷️

Can spiders get food poisoning from huge lumps of rotten meat?

Elaina McCartney3

No doubt he'll take ivermectin.

I have a little friend that wants a turn

SkyEyes3

To be fair, the spider was worried it would be shot by MAGApus oozing along the streets of RedHats filled with HatRed

gecko_with_a_limp3

couldn’t have happened to a more worthy crybaby asshole - only wish a few arachnid buddies had joined in selfdefence

Alfred E. Human3

Having once been bitten by a brown recluse and having had severe pain and health issues for a long time afterwards, I used to hate them but they just made a nice stride towards redemption.

SurfRockitt2

The only time I'll ever thank those eight-legged little bastards. Black Widows have the decency to spin a visible web.

Kurt Weldon2

Oooh. Brown Recluse bites are NASTY. Good.

Kenitra752

Where there is one brown recluse, there are many brown recluses.

Washu 🏳️‍🌈⚽️🏴‍☠️☯️2

Did he survive? The spider, I mean. Rittenhouse is a nothing

Nina2

I should have a chat with the Black Widow I saw in the yard this week and ask if it wants to join Le Resistance 🤪🤪

smartalecl4.bsky.social2

Maybe spiders aren't so bad. ...ok they still creep me out but at least they bite bad guys

Quoth The Raven2

Hopefully his trigger finger will rot off.

majorgoof.bsky.social2

I'm not normally a fan of spiders but I am happy to welcome this one into the resistance. I would offer them shelter if they need it.

Necrotizing venom do your thing.

Spider man-gione (not my joke I just had to drop it)

Marian Steffen 2

Peanut butter. Applied immediately after bite. I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself. It actually works.

DrGeophysics (my personal opinions only)26

We are all thinking about that spider. Hopes and prayers……

Cairo24

He is calling ICE on the brown spider!

America lost23

Same. It’s not lost on me that the spider was brown.

termitebaby53.bsky.social22

Thank you for your service, Spider.

Good Trouble15

Did the spider throw up after that?

Snooker the Wonder Pom!15

The brown recluse is the cause of many amputations. Here's hoping Kyle gets everything he deserves.

Carol14

Sorry to hear he got to the hospital in time.

JoGo13

Republicans will quickly give that spider three names to milk the assassination attempt.

KevinFromBklyn11

The spider was standing his ground.

Tina - Release the #EpsteinFiles|Resistbot Text RESIST to 504099

Thoughts and prayers go out to the spider and its family. Hopefully if there was a nest it is being taken care of.

PediDoc7

The spider only acted in self-defense.

alarod.bsky.social7

The recluse spider got revenge for those killed by Rittenhouse.

What The Bert6

Hope the spider didn’t turn into Kyleman.

I hope the spider wasn't sickened, and didn't catch any cooties ftom Rittenhouse

Has anyone started a Go Fund Me or something for the spider as show of gratitude?

mapedencoviello.bsky.social4

Oh dear. What a tragedy. I am so sad. Tears are flowing. I mean, of course, for the innocent spider. Just minding its business, doing spidery things. When —bang — thrust into the spotlight. And the little 8-legged guy did its duty, no matter the cost.

Shy Ty🌎☮️4

Those bites are so nasty. They cause necrosis. It literally kills the flesh around the bite wound. I like to think this is karma.

The Resistance CO4

I hope it bit his dick.

KB DogsRule4

Probably died from that murderer's filthy blood.

Hey they were just protecting their home and property… that poor spider

gtgnow3

Karma. It can be a b****. Anyway…

J9 Artist3

Karma will get you eventually. Well deserved Kyle.

Sarcasmo Ultra BLAM!3

Hopefully the spider won't contract rabies.

BlueBoomer2

Couldn't happen to a more deserving insect.

Martijon2

What an odd thing to happen. Based on the name of the spider, it looks like Kyle was once again going where he didn’t belong.

LovePet 🌳🪷🐝🦉🐋🐘🦮2

Omg KARMA IS A FEMALE BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER doing what they do best! ( necrosis of the skin)

What a cute little spider.

Yep, when I read Rittenhouse had been hospitalized, I sent 'thoughts and prayers.'

dmptrmpnow.bsky.social5

It most likely died of poison

Not all heroes wear capes. Some are spiders.

Overlands3

Just keep him in your thoughts and prayers

I heard the spider bit him on his penis and now they're gonna get married.

Hope the spider was taken to the hospital, will definitely need treatment after that

Hope the spider is okay.

Crap, this means I have to give him a thought? No, not a f—king prayer.

Thoughts and prayers, for spidey.

I fear those things so much despite being in no proximity to them. From now on though, they're my besties and I will never fear them again. True allies.

My one concern: how is the spider doing?

The spider says it was self defense.

rockyraccoon6.bsky.social2

I’m sure the spider died

Been bitten by one myself like 15 years ago, had to get a decent sized plug cut out of the back of my knee before it got too bad. Still, I commend this particular spider for it's service.
