Being here in Italy, Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose comes to mind. The
translation is considered quite good, and it reads very well.

Well THAT was educational.
Googled images of Brown Recluse and thus waded through pictures of
necrotic bites, yecch, gaah.
Found several references to compounds including activated carbon,

Well, yes but have you read him?
Despite being an enormous fan I did not mention him until three others
had done so.

That's right because I started out interested in what this
science/technology oriented community would recommend. I suspect the

there's a big artist component.

I stand corrected and warned.
Given that the Hospital here is such a mixed bag, I wonder if the collective

One should mention that in 13 years living here I've only seen 3
recluses, and those not in the same year.
Black Widows, however, are a commodity item. Fortunately they're more
brazen and thus much easier to avoid.

The Complex's motion detector in the main room is protected by a small black

Found a brown recluse in my trash can in my bathroom at my house only last week.
