She can whip up some cream.

 

Meds expire, plus they prescribe different antibiotics for different ailments. Take it seriously man. You get infected and it may lead to worse things.

 

Trust me, I'm going to be fine.

 

I guess you will,,you're not dead yet,after 3 weeks..

 

Exactly.

It's not like everyday I am sick. It's as if there is just a gaping blackish hole on my arm.

Other than that, I am just fine.

Way earlier I was feeling symptoms. Chills, vomiting(didn't puke but felt like I had to), diharea, flue like symptoms.

Just popped the antibiotics I have, and a few other pain killers. All is well now.

 

It should make for some very interesting conversation at the bar.

 

I'll whip something...bend over!! :-E

Maybe the spider should've bitten you on your cock then maybe you would've taken this seriously.

Brown recluse spider bites don't always hurt right away. In fact, you may not know that you have been bitten until other symptoms appear. Symptoms of a brown recluse spider bite include:

• Reddened skin that may be followed by a blister that forms at the bite site.
• Mild to intense pain and itching for 2 to 8 hours following the bite.
• An open sore ( ulcers ) with a breakdown of tissue (necrosis) that develops a week or more following the bite. This may take months to heal.

Some people have a severe, systemic (whole-body) reaction to brown recluse spider bites, including the rapid destruction of red blood cells and anemia ( hemolytic anemia ). Signs and symptoms include:

• Fever and chills.
• Skin rash all over the body with many tiny, flat purple and red spots.
• Nausea or vomiting.
• Joint pain.

What should I do if a brown recluse spider bites me?
If you think you have been bitten by a brown recluse spider :

• Remain calm. Too much excitement or movement will increase the flow of venom into the blood.
• Apply a cool, wet cloth to the bite or cover the bite with a cloth and apply an ice bag to the bite.
• Do not apply a tourniquet. It may cause more harm than benefit.
• Try to positively identify the spider or catch it to confirm its type.

A brown recluse bite can be serious and may require immediate medical care. Call a health professional if:

• You have severe symptoms throughout your body.
• An open sore and necrosis develop. Necrosis is black, dead tissue.

How is a brown recluse spider bite diagnosed?
A brown recluse spider bite is diagnosed through a physical examination and questions about the bite. You should be prepared to describe the spider, where and when the bite took place, and what you were doing at the time. (If you are able to safely capture and transport the spider, bring it with you to show your doctor.) Your doctor will ask what your main symptoms are, when they began, and how they have developed, progressed, or changed since the bite.
How is it treated?
Medicine to counteract brown recluse spider venom is not available in the United States or Canada. Treatment depends on how severe the bite is. For bites that:

• Do not develop open sores, treatment includes applying a cold compress, elevating the bite area, and avoiding moving the bite area.
• If you develop an open sore (ulcer) and dead skin (necrosis), treatment includes removing the dead skin from the sore. This may involve follow-up and replacing the dead skin with new skin ( skin grafts ).

Medicines that may be used include:

• Pain medicine, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs include naproxen (Aleve) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20 because of the risk of Reye syndrome.
• Antihistamines , such as Benadryl, to relieve itching.
• Antibiotics , if an infection is present.
