Spider Bite Treatment

How to Treat a Bite From a Poisonous Spider-

If at all possible, get to a doctor. If you can’t, consider the following if you think the spider was a brown recluse or hobo spider:

• Keep the wound cool and slow your breathing. This will help slow the venom’s spread: Apply ice, and keep the area at heart level or above.
• Even though bites are rarely fatal secondary infections can quickly turn so. The next step you need to do is make sure you do everything possible to prevent infection.
• As the black layer of dead skin (eschar) sloughs off, treat the wound as you would any other, by keeping it clean and covered and applying antibiotic ointment or honey. Some large wounds take several weeks to heal. If it starts looking infected, you’ll need oral antibiotics.
• Treat the pain. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever.
