Top those gas tanks off and fill any gas cans you have. There is a possible temporary gas shortage in the Kansas City area. I already experienced this personally at a QuikTrip yesterday near 87th and I-435.
Recluse bites can take several months to heal. Normally if you don't have chills fever fatigue etc just need to keep it clean and can use antibiotic cream. Only a small percentage get necrotic and require more invasive intervention. We normally recommend children to be seen but most adults if healthy should be fine. Can use ice on it and NSAIDs also to help alleviate pain/ discomfort. Don't use NSAIDs however if you have any bleeding or clotting disorders. If you notice your ulceration getting worse/ larger or skin turning discolored probably time to see physician and get site debrided and a course of antibiotics
