- A doctor might test for recluse venom by inspecting the wound or if the patient is able to bring in the spider dead or alive that has been believed to been bitten to collect a match
- Many times doctors misdiagnose a Fiddle-Back bite because there are many other medical conditions that cause the same ulcer sore and mistreat the patient because of that
