People are fearful of spiders throughout the world for a reason. Whether it's due to their appearance and how they walk or their eyes and the precision in which they build their webs is unknown, but the fact is people fear spiders for a reason.
The good news is that there aren't a lot of spiders that pose a danger to humans. Luckily even if a person should bite you, the bite is usually as painful and itchy as a mosquito bite.
However, there still are a few deadly spiders that should result in the most unsqueamish person to pause. If you've heard of the brown recluse spider then you're likely afraid of this spider as well. After all, if you were to get bit by this spider you'd need to go to the hospital.
But what if there's not a hospital nearby and a survival situation is unfolding? If you're bugging out or trying to escape danger a hospital likely isn't an option.
On the next slide learn about what it takes to treat a brown recluse spider bite, especially when there's no emergency help available.

When are people going to finally stop spreading the old BS about the recluse? Almost ten years ago the medical community finally accepted what arachnologists had been telling them for decades. That the bite of the recluse is nowhere near as dangerous as the hype would have you believe, and it never causes massive tissue damage in healthy people who are not allergic to venom. The cases of tissue damage that were blamed on the recluse are now acknowledged to have been misdiagnosed cases of afflictions like necrotizing fasciitis or cutaneous anthrax. The overwhelming majority of recluse bites, upwards of 80%, produce nothing more than localized minor pain and swelling. Systemic effects are exceedingly rare.
Never read article but have been bitten several times by those and others. Running hot water as long and as hot as i could stand the heat changes the chemical of the poison into less damaging chemical. Heals without any problems every time
I don’t do ” next page ” type posts.
I already knew this treatment but everyone needs to read. Otherwise trust me this little spyder will eat your tissue n rott it.
Alcohol!
Lots and lots of alcohol.

I did vicks and hot water washrag wraps. . . nasty$#%&!@*had a month and a half hassle with it. .
Plantain, hot clay, and charcoal. If the bite continues to rot, try honey. I was bit on the butt cheek and couldn’t sit for 3 months. I tried everything and while some things helped, the only thing that made it start clearing up was antibiotics.

only a good friend will suck the poison out.
I’ve been bit twice by a BR. That’s a bad dude..
Is it possible for a person to develop an immunity to brown recluse venom? I could swear i was bitten by one on my back porch when I was younger, with no adverse affects.
Nice ‘clickbait’. Great info though.
Been bitten once by this spider not fun

Brittany Jo Sheets, you may need this info.
Evidently you’ve never been bitten. There are treatments. I remodel old houses. I deal with them on a regular basis.
That pic is NOT a brown recluse. Plus they can only bite if they’re pushed against the skin
I too have been bitten twice by this little monster. Both times admitted to the hospital for 7 days,then 8 days. Remember, every person reacts differently to a brown bite. I’ve seen some a lot worse reaction than mine. In the head hair was the worse, hair fell out and two black eyes,she looked like a raccoon. Bless her heart. Both spiders were tiny ones. Learned a lot from those two in counters.
Lucky few are naturally immune, congrats lol
Not 100% certain, but that would definitely come in handy!
Got bit by one once. Got to the size of a golf ball before I sliced it open, squeezed it with plyers from a few directions and poured peroxide then alcohol into it. I don’t let bites swell up that much anymore.
Vinegar~

Michael Parker here ya go buddy
extract as much as possible venom and pack it with powder charcoal to draw out any more venom.. Change and disinfect charcoal dessing 3 x’s a day…
I wonder if this treatment is suitable for whitetail’s. They’re nasty little fuckers. Especially the females. Their venom eats the flesh and makes you sick as a dog.
I got bit by one last summer not cool. Got the old residue out and look care of it…bast things
Leave them just leave lol
Tea tree oil applied to the bite also works
Jessica Kuchta
Pork fat poltice works also. The fat draws out the venom.
all good to know unless those items aren’t available
If you flex really hard while getting bit, it will force the venom back into the spider and cause it to explode
There are a number of spiders that look very similar to brown recluse. You have to consider the possibility that it was not a brown recluse that bit you.
