  • Answer:

    ok so there are really only a few spiders that are actually dangerous to humans. so unless you feel need to go to the er, dont. first take some benedroyl (sp?) this will help if you are just having an allergic reaction. also take a pen or perment marker and draw along the redness of the bit..so like the outlining the bite. also make a note of what time you do this at. this will help so if/when you get seen by the dr they can see how much and how fast it is spreading. of course if you start getting more shooting pains or the pain becomes unhandable then by all means go to the er or nearest urgent care. look up the spiders such as brown recluse, hobo, and black widow. these are a few of the spiders that are considered dangerous to humans. also just fyi black widows dont have any death reports for over a decade. i'd more worried about the brown recluse. so research your area and find out if you have these spiders in your area.

i fixed mine using a common herb called a Plantain (not the banana-like fruit, but Plantago Minor or Major... google image search it.) feel free to google about the plantain, you'll only find good things. I just chewed up the plantain, spit it out and put it on the wound. Your own spit has common antibiotic properties (why to cats clean themselves by licking?) and the plantain doesn't taste too weird. You can find plantains on the side of the road. Mine was in my backyard. Look at pics of both major and minor. I've heard major works a bit better, but i used minor with excellent results. My arm stopped swelling and the wound stopped growing. DO NOT google images of spider bites--you'll only get grossed out and scared. Mine cleared up in about a week after applying the plantain for 3 or 4 days straight. A co-worker of mine used the same method. Neither of us had to go to the doctor ever for our bites. I've also found this works well on ant bites too. It can leave certain skin a brown color for a day or two, but whatever... that's better than a flesh-eating bite. Hope this helps!
