I'll take any widow venom (Black, brown or red) over Brown Recluse venom. The neurological pain from widow venom is something that can be managed quickly, as long as you're a healthy adult.
But that necrotic shit the Brown Recluse releases into you, no thanks. I like my skin the way it is.
(Maybe that's my vanity speaking though...)
Except brown recluse spiders are really hard to provoke, have really short fangs, and you have to press one up against your skin to elicit a bite. Even then, majority of the bites have so little effect that they go unnoticed, and a small percentage cause serious problems.
Great white, on the other hand, need no provocation, have really long teeth, will hunt you down, and will usually bleed you out.
