The brown recluse spider is commonly found outdoors and a person could be bitten while working in the garden or turning over a rock.
But this spider is more likely to occur indoors than is the black widow.
It might hide in piles of paper, clothing, bedding, or a shoe.
People have been bitten when they roll over onto a brown recluse in bed.
