opps I misspelled that.... should be 'spider'
On the back of my left hand.... 2 fang marks about 3/8" apart...probably 2 bites...I didn't feel it happen, and didn't see the culprit.... My hands stay tore up from working on stuff, so I don't pay a lot of attention to little pains..LOL
. Hand is all swollen, red and itches like crazy..with hard knots at the bite locations.. just an intense dull ache....
I did use some of my whiskey to ease the pain...... medicinal reasons only, of course...

Hopefully no white ring/target looking signs? I dealt with a Brown Recluse bite a few years ago.  |

I had a similar experience last month.... if you see red lines running up your arm... get to the Hospital quick. My lines were up to my right elbow and lymph in the arm pit. I had to have an IV with Antibiotics and such, then sent home with some pain and more antibiotic pills. Dr thought it must have been a spider bite, but we didn't see the bite mark in the swollen area.... I suspected it was a drop of weed killer concentrate which splashed there a couple days earlier... and I still believe that.

I work in a warehouse and get bitten by spiders frequently. So far, only one has been a problem. If in doubt, see a doc.

Yeah, if you see those red lines, or start to run a temp. or feel lethargic, or see that ring...get to a hospital. Brown Recluse bites are nothing to mess with. My son Bryan had 3 of them from when we vacationed in Tennessee. He was one sick kid for 10 days, almost lost him.

Go to the doctor! You need medical help.
I have done this, and it does work-If you catch the bite quick enough, crush an asprin in a spoon and mix a few drops of water in it to make a paste. The paste may neutralize the poison.
DISCLAMER: I am not a doctor and am not trying to give medical advice.
With all the signs you have, you have waited too long for a home remedy anyway.
Go to the doctor! You need medical help.

Had a friend many years ago who lost a toddler to a Brown Recluse. Went a long to teaching me that life isn't fair. Still can't see how God could let something like this happen to such an innocent child.

If the itching and redness doesn't go away or subsides in a few days and/or you run a slight fever, get your butt to the dr. for remedies. You never know. I swear growing up I saw a black widow spider on the monkey bars at school, but you never know what could have bit yah. Hope in a day or two it goes away all by itself, but if not, take others advice and get it checked out with dr. with meds.

My dad got bit by either a black widow or recluse that crawled into his truck door where the window goes down into the frame and nailed him on the underside of his arm. When it bit him, he completely obliterated the spider so couldn't tell what it was. A couple weeks later, the poison started to affect his teeth and had to go to specialist for some kind of procedure. Otherwise, he might have lost teeth. Go see a doctor.

I did use some of my whiskey to ease the pain...... medicinal reasons only, of course...
[/quote]Don't pour as much inside as you do on the outside, or you will probably bitten by another spyder. Good luck.
