Abstract
Although there is an increased awareness of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), there remains a bias of the public and health-care workers to blame spiders as a cause of skin and soft tissue infection when there is no valid incriminated evidence for this assumption. MRSA is a formidable infection and remains a threat to human health. Recognition and proper treatment by practitioners remain of utmost importance to improve patient outcomes.
