NO. According to the lists of venomous spiders in each state Maryland and the neighboring states have the Black Widow but no Brown Recluse in the list.

The brown recluse spider is native to the United States from the southern Midwest south to the Gulf of Mexico [2] The native range lies roughly south of a line from southeastern Nebraska through southern Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana to southwestern Ohio. In the southern states, it is native from central Texas to western Georgia. They are generally not found west of the Rocky Mountains.[3] A related species, the brown violin spider (Loxosceles rufescens), is found in Hawai'i.[4]

I was bit by a recluse on the ankle, the skin was burned off immediately and it looked wicked. I did go to the doc, gave me an antibiotic for infection and put a gauze pad on and away I went. The diabetes issue..........just keep a close eye on the area around the bite, make sure the skin is coming back,no infection stuff like that. I think she will be okay, I want to thank you for caring so much about your grandma,you don't see that too much these days.........you are special,take care.

Well, I know of one that lived in New Jersey...I was
bitten by it.......scared the living Dickens of of me.
I went to base hospital, and they could identify it by its
bite....they sent me to the local hospital, they gave me
an injection and medication......and told me, stay off my
feet and if I felt funny to come immediately to the emergency
room. Since it was diagnosed immediately and treated I had no ill effects.
If you type http://hobospider.org/recluse.html you will find
the states they generally live in.
As a rule, they do not live in Maryland or anywhere near there.

They can live in any house where people with moving boxes move from places that had them.

They don't really like it that far East. Look them up on Wikipedia. It's a very good source for most any thing you would like to know.
