??? anyone know anything about them? i'm pretty sure i got one when i was working this week but so far it has been uneventful but its gotten slightly bigger and more tender...
i read some horror stories about people not showing adverse symptoms until a week to two weeks later
what shall i do? just let it hang out and put benadryl on it or go to the doc? 6/5/2008 9:53:02 PM |

I take it since you know it's a spider bite you saw the spider. What did it look like and what were the conditions. I would go to the doc or at least call if you have concerns. I've seen what the brown recluse can do so I'd play it safe. 6/5/2008 9:55:56 PM |

you could have one of a few things going on
if its a worsening spider bite you need medical attention
or it could be a worsening staph infection from a bug bite
either way hightail it to the doctor 6/5/2008 10:01:58 PM |

depends on what it was by, either way just go have it looked at immediately because it may get worse and continue to be worse. watch for any symptoms that may happen, especially fevers, head aches, swelling, puss from the wound, etc. 6/5/2008 10:09:42 PM |
