The result of a Brown recluse spider bite- 20 days later.
Incisions were made along the arm due to intense swelling. First aid involves the application of an ice pack to control inflammation and prompt medical care. If it can be easily captured, the spider should be brought with the patient in a clear, tightly closed container so it may be identified. Routine treatment should include immobilization of the affected limb, application of ice, local wound care, and tetanus prophylaxis. Many other therapies have been used with varying degrees of success, including hyperbaric oxygen, dapsone, antihistamines, antibiotics, dextran, glucocorticoids, vasodilators, heparin, surgical excision, and antivenom. None of these treatments have been subjected to randomized controlled trials to conclusively show benefit. In almost all cases, bites are self-limited and typically heal without any medical intervention.
Wow ! No wonder we people are afraid of spiders! Where R and they located?
