Not too sure about that. Last I checked, California was west of Home (Tejas) and the brown recluse is known to reside in the area of my California house, along with about a billionmillion black widow spiders. Lady from the region died from a brown recluse bite a few years back - bit on the foot, dead brown recluse found in her shoe. It was an agonizingly slow death as I recall, took almost two weeks from her to succumb IIRC.
