The brown recluse is a fascinating spider very well adapted to dwelling in houses and other buildings. Because of this very quality and the ghastly reputation associated with the medical consequences of its bite, it has become infamous throughout North America. Although recluse spiders can cause serious skin injuries and, in very rare cases, death, the danger posed by this spider is often exaggerated as a result of arachnophobia and the misdiagnosis of non-spider-related conditions as brown recluse bites. These misdiagnoses often occur in areas of North America where the spider does not exist, making legitimate bites improbable. One of the greatest factors that keeps the myths alive is misidentification of common (and harmless) spiders as brown recluses. With this book, Richard S. Vetter hopes to educate readers regarding the biology of the spider and medical aspects of its bites, to reduce the incidence of misdiagnoses, and to quell misplaced anxiety. In The Brown Recluse Spider, Vetter covers topics such as taxonomy, identification, misidentification, life history characteristics and biology, medical aspects of envenomations, medical conditions misdiagnosed as brown recluse bites, other spider species of medical consideration (several of which have been wrongly implicated as threats to human health), and the psychology behind the entrenched reasons why people believe so deeply in the presence of the spider in the face of strong, contradictory information. Vetter also makes recommendations for control of the spider for households in areas where the spiders are found and describes other species of recluse spiders in North America. Although The Brown Recluse Spider was written for a general audience, it is also a valuable source of information for arachnologists and medical personnel.

Due to its stealthy behavior, the venomous Brown Recluse spider is considered by many to be the most dangerous spider in the United States. Capable of inflicting bite wounds that can cause severe pain, long hospital stays and even death in rare cases, most Brown Recluse bites actually occur while the victim is sleeping. Readers can learn how to avoid becoming a victim by understanding the unique habits and behavioral characteristics of this spider. These unique habits clash with our own habits and thus result in bite wounds. Written with the layman in mind, you can learn step-by-step how to identify and help eradicate the spider, plus learn important answers to questions like: Where do Brown Recluses actually live? Where do the 11 other Recluse species live in America? Why do Pest Control companies refuse to guarantee elimination of Brown Recluse infestations? What kind of insects do Brown Recluses prefer to eat? What areas do Brown Recluses avoid? What areas of your body can a Recluse never bite? What kind of predator spider is capable of eating several Brown Recluses a day? How can I avoid bringing Brown Recluses to my new home when I move? This book was written to answer such questions and much more. Includes information-packed chapters with 50+ photos and diagrams, all with the goal of reducing or even eliminating your risk of becoming a bite victim. About the author Tom Martincic has been studying Brown Recluse spider behavior and regularly interacting with Brown Recluse bite victims for the last 8 years. An expert in Brown Recluse behavior, he is the co-founder and managing partner of Progeny Products LLC, a Better Business Bureau A+ rated company dedicated to the prevention of Brown Recluse bites and supporting Brown Recluse bite victims.

Cysticercosis, an infection caused by the cystic larvae of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium, is one of the most frequent parasitic infections of the human nervous system (neurocysticercosis). It is endemic in most of Latin America, the sub-Saharan Africa, and vast parts of Asia, including the Indian subcontinent. It has also been increasingly diagnosed in developed countries because of migration of people from endemic zones and exposure in travelers. The life cycle involves the development of the adult tapeworm in the human small intestine (after ingesting infected pork with cysts) and larval infection in pig tissues (after ingesting human stools containing the eggs of the tapeworm). Humans get infected by the fecal-oral route, most often from a direct contact with an asymptomatic Taenia carrier. Most common clinical presentations are seizures (particularly late-onset seizures), chronic headaches, and intracranial hypertension. However, cysticerci can locate anywhere in the human nervous system, thus potentially causing almost any neurological syndrome and making clinical diagnosis a difficult task. Neuroimaging is the main diagnostic tool, and specific serology confirms the diagnosis and helps to define the diagnosis when images are unclear. Factors such as location (extraparenchymal versus intraparenchymal), number, size and evolutive stage of the parasites determine the clinical manifestations, therapeutic approach, and prognosis. Management includes symptomatic drugs (analgesics, antiepileptic drugs, anti-inflammatory agents) and in many cases cysticidal drugs, either albendazole or praziquantel. In recent years, efforts have focused on transmission control and potential elimination in endemic regions.
