SPIDER BITES
  • SPIDER BITE SYMPTOMS including pictures of bites
    and what to do if bitten by a spider. SPIDER
    BITES are mostly just uncomfortable and their
    symptoms do not last very long.

Spider Bite Symptoms
  • The symptoms of a spider bite are not long
    lasting. Venomous spider bite symptoms can last
    for more than a day ,but on the other hand, non
    venomous spider bites last for a couple of
    minutes. Spider bites are not usually dangerous,
    since most of them do not have venom in
    sufficient amounts to cause damage. If a person
    is bitten by a venomous spider, such as the black
    widow, the first symptoms will usually appear in
    the matter of minutes. The person experiences
    severe symptoms such as heavy spasms, burning
    sensation around the bite area, nausea, and
    swellings. A spider bite is not that different
    from that of an insect, it includes the usual
    symptoms such as sharp pain and redness around
    the bite area. The most dangerous complications
    are those which happen when a person has an
    allergic reaction. There can also be a toxic
    reaction to some spider bites such as those of
    the black widow and the brown recluse spider. A
    person bitten by a poisonous spider can
    experience skin rash and the patients with a
    heart disease may not be able to overcome these
    symptoms and can have very serious complications.

Black Widow bite
  • The black widow bite is usually followed with
    symptoms such as shooting pain, difficulty
    breathing, fever and convulsions. This spider is
    not that lethal as people tend to believe. The
    most severe complications may appear in children
    and people whose immune system had been weakened
    with another disease. It is very important that
    the bitten person receives prompt medical
    attention and this may not always be possible
    since the bite itself may sometimes be painless.
    In this case, it is important to recognize the
    symptoms as early as possible.

Brown Recluse Spider bite
  • The brown recluse spider bite can cause skin
    rash, nausea and fever. These spiders can be
    found in dark places and they can often be
    tangled up inside clothes. When this spider is
    disturbed it will bite, but it usually does not
    attack if it is left alone. Children and elderly
    people are the groups with which there should be
    additional caution because their immune system
    may be weak, making it easier for the symptoms to
    take a heavier form.
