Update on Spider Bite..

[Fletch]

So last week I must have gotten bit by a spider.... I'm thinking while I was sleeping... Made a mess of my hand, it swelled up, became dark red and infected.. Called Dr. and went on antibiotics... Although the hand looks like shit due to all the layers of dead skin from the toxins, it's feeling much better...

Wow - glad your healing up - what the hell kinda spiders u got up there

Who the hell knows what kind of spider or what it was... Doctor asked if it could have been a snake... I would have known if a rattler or copperhead got me.... Plus whole arm would have been affected...

Get some of those sticky spider traps and place around the house - this cold weather will bring them in - my house cats take care of them

Holy hell!

Brown Recluse will do some serious damage if they get you. necrotic venom is serious shit.

Sure looks like a brown recluse reaction. Glad you’re healing up!

My wife had a spider bite several years ago the Dr. said was likely the result of a brown recluse. It was on her leg and looked very similar to that only the center was a divet about the size of a dime and at least 1/8 inch deep. After all the antibiotics and tetanus shot it slowly healed. You would think she would have a nasty scar but you cannot even see where it was. Good thing you had it checked out and are on the mend!!

Geez, glad your hand is getting better, but man, it sure doesn't look pretty.

Brown Recluse is what I'm thinking..... There is a hole about the size of a felt tip marker.... Better me to get bit than the dog.... Whatever bit me had some serious venom....

Maybe picked it up in the woods and brought it home

Dang glad you caught it before it got serious.

A buddy of mine got bit by a brown recluse...put a divot in his leg and he lost a good bit of flesh to the venom. It healed up well but it didn’t look pretty for a while. Hope you heal up fast bud!

 

[mike hunt]

Wow, try soaking it in cider

 

[finelyshedded]

Dang Rich! Looks likely to have been from the brown recluse imo as well. They say their bites usually go unnoticed till the venom starts going to work. That sure looks nasty but hoping the meds do their job in a hurry and you get your hand back to normal buddy! Question, was it the hand you use most?

 

[brock ratcliff]

Ouch! Hope it mends quick!
