The image might be a hoax, but the Brown Recluse is a real deal: http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2061.html.

Zach is right...the brown recluse is no joke, and can actually cost limbs.

I've only ever seen one brown recluse bite in person, and I will say that it looked a lot like the one in the photo.

I was working, and this nasty crack whore I was taking a report from had a big bandage on her thigh. I asked her what the bandage was for and she insisted on showing me the bite, which was abscessed down to the bone. [gross!] She said that she was cracked out and woke up to find the bite.

True story.

I'm gonna go ahead and pretend that was photoshopped so I can sleep tonight. Also so I don't throw up right now. Absolutely nasty.

Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old.

I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook.

I live in Brooklyn now.
