This is what the UrbanLegends web site has to say about this:

"The wound itself appears to be real, at least, and, while more extreme than most, does resemble necrotic ulcers known to be symptomatic of brown recluse spider bites. However, they are also symptomatic of gangrene and necrotizing fasciitis, both of which can result from a brown recluse bite but both of which have other causes as well, and can easily be mistaken for such a bite.

Experts say misdiagnoses very common. The majority of brown recluse bites are "uneventful," in fact, and never progress to such a serious stage.
