The spider biting apparatus is short and bites are only possible in experimental animals with pressure on the spider's back. Thus many bites occur when a spider is trapped in a shirt or pant sleeve. There is no commercial chemical test to determine if the venom is from a brown recluse. The bite itself is not usually painful.
Bleeding also may occur with a bite. Signs of a bacterial infection due to a spider bite occur infrequently (0.9%). [9] A study of 750 definite spider bites in Australia indicated that 6% of spider bites cause significant effects, the vast majority of these being redback spider bites causing significant pain lasting more than 24 hours.

[10] Opioids such as morphine relieve pain and benzodiazepines ease muscle spasm in most patients. [16]
