A Prepper is Living Off the Grid When a Brown Recluse Bites Him. Here’s How He Should Effectively Treat It.

brown recluse spider

People don't like spiders for a reason. It usually has to do with their beady eyes, long legs, and the intricate webs they spin with ease to catch their next meal.

If you were to ask a survivalist why he doesn't care much for spiders, he might tell you it's because he doesn't want to get bit by one! Even though most spiders are harmless, there is still the occasional spider that can cause a painful injury.

In fact, the brown recluse spider is one such spider that if a person were to get bit by one, they would be in grave discomfort. The name alone of this spider causes many survivalists squirm, and they pray that they never have to encounter one.

If a survivalist were to get bit by a brown recluse, they would likely need help from a doctor. However, if they're living off the grid or this takes place when SHTF, this likely won't be possible. What should a prepper do if this is the case?

On the next page, learn about the essential steps a prepper should take if they happen to get bit by a recluse spider while bugging out. If there isn't any emergency care available, it'll be up to a survivalist to know the proper course of treatment.

    Well, seeing the headline made me “bite” on the article. Another case if just because you intend to be helpful does not mean you really accomplished your goal. This article is so loaded with bad advice it should appear in a satirical publication not purporting to be taken seriously. Echinacea? Really? That is one supplement there is tremendous amounts of evidence of its complete ineffectiveness. FAIL! Start over and rhis time try staying in the shallow end of the advice pool.

    Ive seen a red hot knife used to cauterize the bite & poison sack . It must be done right away . Then the wound just heals like normal .

    BR venom is a necrotic venom. It’s not an allergic reaction. It breaks down flesh. It will affect anyone that’s bitten and not treated.

    Definitely not walking all day on bleach soaked socks. $#%&!@*that

    Clean area with Rubbing Alcohol, Take a Stun gun any voltage and zap the area, smallest burst, using a cross method 12-6 and 3-9, This will break up the poison quickly and allow your body to dispose of it. Works on any and all insect bites. I learned this method from an E/R Doctor, Saw him preform it several times on 5yoa- 80yoa.

    I’ve been bit 3 times, all while I was sleeping. The third time I woke up as it was running away and killed it. The first time it pitted out and itched for 4 years. The next 2 times my body had built an immunity. The bite was sore and formed something similar to a boil after about a week. When squeezed it made a loud crunching noise then pus drained followed by a rock hard white clump. My guess is my body recognized the toxin and encapsulated it to avoid being poisoned.
