I have a spider bite..HELP!!!!!?!


Question: It's shaped like a Triangle. There's Puss coming out. I looked up the symptoms, and I have some.. I asked my Mom, and Nanny what to do, they said sleep, and go to the DR's tomorrow. But..

The Symptoms For a Brown Recluse are:

burning, pain, itching, or redness at the site which is usually delayed and may develop within several hours or days of the bite
a deep blue or purple area around the bite, surrounded by a whitish ring and large red outer ring similar to a "bulls eye"
an ulcer or blister that turns black
headache, body aches
rash
fever
nausea or vomiting

I have the Redness, Red Ring, Headache, Body ache, Fever, and Nausea.

The symptoms for a Black Widow are:
immediate pain, burning, swelling, and redness at the site (double fang marks may be seen)
cramping pain and muscle rigidity in the stomach, chest, shoulders, and back
headache
dizziness

I have Swelling, Burning, Redness, Double Fang Marks, Headache, Body aches, Fever, Nausea, and Cramping all over.

What do, I do? =/

If it were a Black Widow, the symptoms would have grown much worse by now. Like you would be in so much pain you would have called 911. (I know this from treating a patient with a black widow bite). If it is a brown recluse bite, waiting until tomorrow isn't going to matter - these bites necrose slowly. You may have cellulitis, which is an infection of the skin. Some spider bites cause this. Try putting a hot compress on the bite. When it cools, leave it off for about 20 minutes, then repeat as often as you can until you go to sleep. Make the compress as hot as you can stand. This will help the pain and it "draws" the infection to the surface. The nausea, and numbness in your face can be from hyperventilating because you are afraid of what bit you. I have seen this happen to several people also. It should be OK to take another Benedryl in 4 to 6 hours also. I hope you feel better soon. Try to stay calm.
PS: If the fever gets to be over 100, or if the cramping and body pain worsen. Especially in the lower back. Or if you have trouble breathing, or tongue swelling. Wake someone up and make the take you to the ER or call an ambulance.

U prolly should go now... and do not put peroxide on it!!!

Na you need to call anvalance now!!! go to hospial run not walk .Sounds bad

The majority of spider bites just get a little red bump, and your arm gets itchy and you might get a rash that lasts a while, if your getting worse than that, get to a doctor, if you have no doctor, get some benadril and take 2 or 3 pills fast.

i would not wait go to the er they have anit venumon but you have to know what really bit you.

Tell you moron Mom and nanny to take you to the hospital NOW!

A black widow bite hurts quite a bit so I doubt you have that. If it is a brown recluse bite then you should be safe waiting until tomorrow to make it to the doctor. I've been bitten by both at my job so I know about this. If the veins in the area of the bite start darkening or if the area becomes largely swollen or if you start running a high fever then you should seek medical help. Just pay attention and if it's still bad in the morning then go to the doctor.

Now seems like a good time to go to the hospital.

If you are running fever and aching all over due to a SPIDER BITE - you REALLY need to go to the Emergency Room. If the venom keeps spreading, it can cause necrosis (dead tissue) and you DO NOT WANT that!

You didn't say how old you are or how long ago you noticed the bite. Both of these are important to know. You will probably get care tomorrow at your doctor's office as fast as you would going to the Emergency Room. This probably is not a new bite, so please go tomorrow. Tonight you might soak in warm shower and wash the bite well. Ask if your mom has something like hydrocortisone cream to put on the bite and if you have fever, if she could give you something safe for a fever. Try not to scratch or dig at the bite. Maybe you could cover it with clean bandage to help remind you in your sleep.These bites can be dangerous, but can be taken of by your doctor.

please go to nearsest hospital if your are in a highly wooded state with wood ticks lyme disese is a possibilty. you are having a reaction to this bite . the closest advice do you know hoe people react to bee stings you have them if it just happened the bullseye is a signal of reactions which must be treated . anti biotics and possible injection are the worst thing that can happen . unattended very very sick please please go . the only one you are hurting is your self yake care good health . dont be afraid once there your fears will be put to rest . and then you will rest . for a example suffered cancer nose and face . 8 tumors heart troubles had to be awake . i think i was took 200 stitches . lost sight one eye . knew this was going to be result . my answer thank god it is a old guy not a young lady . with my face i can become a hollywood movie star no makeup can make uglier got bored around one in the morning drove home 100 miles 3 days ahead not one painkiller used please go

Just go to sleep today and see tomorrow if you require your spectacles to see things around you... You might not need it. See if you can jump from building to building... You might fly across them. See if a spoon sticks to your hand and if you can crawl over the vertical building. You might end up being the savior of the world, being a spider woman.

First of; Im sorry, please dont be offended;
Was the spider radioactive?
cuz if so..

Spider girl, spider girl, does whatever a-
ill stop.

you should go

With a Brown Recluse Spider bite it will eat away the bite area and it will look like you have lost the skin in that area.

With a Black widow bite you will have the symptoms that you wrote . You should go to the ER to be on the safe side. You should not wait.

For mild reactions:

* Move to a safe area to avoid more stings.
* Scrape or brush off the stinger with a straight-edged object, such as a credit card or the back of a knife. Wash the affected area with soap and water. Don't try to pull out the stinger; doing so may release more venom.
* To reduce pain and swelling, apply a cold pack or cloth filled with ice.
* Apply 0.5 percent or 1 percent hydrocortisone cream, calamine lotion or a baking soda paste
