Hey guys,
I really need help on this one! My friend is in the middle of Alaska at the moment fighting fire and he got this spider bite and sent me this picture. I'm not familiar with the spiders in the area, but I'm afraid it may be a recluse. He's stubborn and won't get help on this, so I need input! He says he feels okay, but he JUST realized he had the bite this morning.

We don't diagnose anything on AMHD. That 'bite', or whatever it is could be anything. It is already infected by the look of it, and must be sore. Tell him to go to the nearest hospital, doctor, whatever. He is not fighting fires 24/7, he does have down time to do this.
