I saw a lady with a bandage on her chin. She said she was bitten by a brown recluse spider and that it laid eggs under her skin. Is this possible (the egg laying, not the biting)?

no it is not, spiders cant lay eggs under your skin because 1: skin is to thick for a spider to create an opening, 2: not right atmosphere, and 3: COMMON DUDE USE UR COMMON SENSE

NO: 1. Spiders don't lay eggs under the skin. They lay them in nesting sacs.
2. Recluse spiders tend to be highly venomous, I'm not sure someone would survive a bite to the face. Possible maybe, likely probably not.

The brown recluse injects a toxin with its bite that cause necrosis of soft tissue and treatment is a wide debridement of the bite. No eggs.

there is no way they laid egg in her chin since it would take longer than a few seconds to lay them and she should have felt the bite in the first place even if she was asleep.

It is highly unlikely. Spiders do not lay eggs in the skin of any living or dead creature.

not likely, but it can cause the flesh to die, which looks like spider eggs. Spiders generally don't lay eggs if they have to bite the person

I think she was pulling your leg.
Most recluse bites happen on the hands and feet as well.

No it doesn't work that way.

Bite - yes: Egg laying - no
