As this webcomic fromBuzzHootRoar * ( a fantastic new science blog)explains , brown troglodyte are routinely slandered for nasty - ass wound THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH . The material perpetrator ? The notoriously difficult - to - treatCommunity - acquiredMethicillin - resistantStaphylococcus aureus , aka MRSA . Let ’s face it – that ’s way scarier than a brown recluse .
