Kind of odd that he was bitten by "several"
spiders,
merely by opening a disk drive door. Recluses aren't
at all aggressive, and generally don't go out of their way to attack.
It seems highly unsual that they would "charge out in numbers",
and bite. But, anything is possible.
Well, I never met the guy face-to-face and am simply recounting what
was told to me by him. We've got spiders all over the place here and
generally I've never had any problems with them--they mostly try to
flee. On the other hand, I shudder when I think about yellowjackets
and stepping on a nest--but I've never run into electronic gear
infested by the nasty buggers.
Cheers,
Chuck
