400 cases? Your odds are one in two million you'll even get bitten by one. You're more likely to get struck by lightning. Not only that, they aren't fatal. No death have ever been reported in the US from a Brown Recluse bite.

Its not as common as bee stings. The spider lives in my area, as well, and I have known of only a few people bitten. They spider is called a recluse for a reason, If you are that worried about it, wear gloves when gardening or picking up debris.
