Tread With Caution – Every U.S. State’s Deadliest Denizens Finally Revealed
Brown Recluse Spider in New Mexico
In New Mexico, one can find the notorious brown recluse spider, which is closely related to the Black Widow. This carnivorous arachnid inhabits desert and semi-desert areas and delivers a venomous bite that can cause significant harm to the central nervous and cardiac systems. The bite can lead to numbness, intense pain, breathing difficulties, elevated blood pressure, and cardiac arrest.
Fortunately, the spider’s violin-shaped marking on its back immediately behind its eyes makes it easily recognizable. But they are typically reclusive and avoid human contact. Don’t stray into their habitat to avoid encounters.
