Answer and Explanation:

A brown recluse bite can turn colors, form an ulcer, and produce worse symptoms after 24 hours. Initially, the bite site is mildly red and may reveal fang marks. Within a few hours, the redness gives way to pallor with a red ring surrounding the area, or a "bull's-eye" appearance. As more tissue in the center of the bite area becomes damaged, the center ends up being whitish, purple or bluish. About 24 or more hours after the bite, a blister may appear in the center. The site of the bite may turn a deep purple or blue color and be surrounded by a whitish ring and a larger red area.
