Tennessee’s Dangerous Spiders Revealed

Tennessee’s got spiders — but only two you need to fear: the black widow and the brown recluse. Both are widespread, so know what they look like and what to do if you meet one. Brown recluses have a violin-shaped back and rarely bite unless disturbed — usually in closets or garages. Black widows are shiny black with a red hourglass on their belly, hiding in crawl spaces or under woodpiles. Their bites are rare but serious — seek medical help immediately. If bitten, clean the area, avoid scratching for recluse bites, and use ice for black widow pain. Stay safe indoors by sealing storage, shaking clothes, and clearing clutter — and outdoors by moving firewood and trimming vegetation.
