Spider Bites - Health Checks

Spider bites can be painful, but a spider's venom is the real concern. Thankfully, most spiders don't bite, and 98% are harmless.

Mines doesn’t itch it’s just painful and its swollen .. tried making an appointment but the health system is a joke...

A doctor in the area used to treat brown recluse bites with electric shocks from a stun gun.  It was very effective.  He treated several thousand patients and wrote up the results in several medical studies.   The shock treatments stops the necrosis immediately.

I’ve been bitten by a Black Widow and didn’t know it. It was the WORST burning/fiery itch mixed with stinging I’ve ever felt. Lasted maybe a day, then my immune system did the rest.

Something bit me on my back and I've been screaming for 3 days

Great and sensible advice from a physician, but I hope he popped to Wallgreens after the shoot for a Primatine puffer. Poor fella sounds out of breath!

Thanks that was helpful. Do you have one about centipedes?

Video is old. Standard of care for spider bites have changed. Absolutely no touniquet. Hard to keep up as we keep learning more and more about spider bites.

I was bit by some type of insect about 2 wks ago and there seems to still be a bit of sharp pain at the tip of the elbow where I was bitten, there is no type of rotting or redness  left but there is still some type of discomfort, should I go and see a Dr. after that much time has passed?

I was bit in an infested hoarders home by brown widow and brow recluse over 2 to 3 yr period. This guy is woefully ignorant. Almost had oegan failure among other hideous unreal symtoms ie vomiting...dizziness .... injected venomous lesions taking years to surface into necrotic gangrenous sores. This infestation occurred in Orange County.and has spread north to die migrationvof species as California's climate rises substantially now and for the past decade. Real experts are hard to find as they don't have the first hand experience if being bit and i doubt that they'd volunteer as guinea pigs to prove their espousing nonsense. More closely truer testimony give on top 10 venomous spiders utube I suggest.
