Spiders are one of the greatest fears throughout the world. This may be due to how they walk, the precision with which they build their webs or their many eyes. When you ask most people, though, they are afraid of spiders because of their bites.
In reality, very few spiders throughout the world are in any way dangerous to humans. Although almost all spiders can bite, nearly all of them are about as painful as a mosquito bite.
However, there are a few that will give even the most unsqueamish person pause. The brown recluse is one of them. When bitten by a brown recluse, most people will make an immediate trip to the hospital. Unfortunately, if you're in a bugout situation that may not be an option.
What should you do if you need to treat a brown recluse bite? Take a look at the advice on the next page to find out.

And bake at 350 until done.
apparently in a spider cave
I got a idea go to the doctor ?
Well, I will never forget when I had to take my husband to the ER because he a spider bite on his testicle. Ended up being brown recluse and that was a very, very close call. We laugh about it today.
There are a LOT of spiders that look like a Brown Recluse, a.k.a. FiddleBack, a.k.a. Brown Fiddler, a.k.a. Violin Spider, a.k.a. Violin Recluse (lol)… However, they are NOT as common as you may think, and the bites are in fact quite a bit more dangerous than this article portrays (which is pretty unethical journalism in my book). They will not be bigger than an American quarter, and that would be the very biggest of them on average. While they may slightly vary in color from light brown to a darker ashy grey-brown, they will never have spots or stripes on the abdomen, and will definitely have marks on the top front-middle of their cephalothorax (top of the back) with a black line coming from it surrounded by a slightly darker shape looking like a violin with the neck of the violin pointing to the rear of the spider.
Apple cider vinegar.,.the REAL stuff, soaked compress…. Applied continuously for 3-4 days
An Amish lady did this for my wife after a br bite started to turn black… After 3-4 days, only a small sore and no flesh rot
Nuts
Purified charcoal will adsorb the poison…
It doesnt tell you that the nasty things like dark moist corners. Be very careful with laundry in the house for this reason. I tend to spread mine on the floor first so that in itself eliminates some if not all possible bites from that.
Nope WV and they are pretty bad here. I live on the edge of the city in a decent area but since our house was vacant 2 years before we moved in it’s been a battle to ge them to move out. Last year it was like a scene out of Arachnaphobia when we had around 100 badies scurrying across our ceiling and dropping down.

Clicked On This And My Anti Virus Went Crazy !!!!!!!! Beware !!!!!!!!!
Lmao at these comments.
Get to the hospital ASAP! Antibiotics intravenously and debridment of the wound!!! Before tissue loss!!!!
I have a brown recluse bite now, (Fri night sat morning) didn’t feel the actual bite, but was pretty quick with baking soda paste wrapped on. Over night stopped the wound site problems, went the following Monday just in case..but no problems with it (she did prescribe anti biotic)
yep I didn’t know I was bitten for 2 days, when the necrosis and infection started.
Depends on here it’s at
I use apaste of that on any bee/wasp sting. My son got bit by a hornet when he was eight. I treated it with meat tenderizer and next morning he couldn’t remember or see which arm it was on.. now I forget which arm I scratched last.lol
We don’t have recluse spiders around here, but we do have widows. Nasty little bastards!
I read that a poultice made from plantain also will help heal the wound from the brown recluse
time to bug bomb the house right? 😛
The best part of this story is they say in a SHTF way to treat a recluse bite. But then they tell you to buy the stuff you need at the health store if you get bit. Lol

Bite it back!
That only makes them come out. In order to get rid of all of them you have to get an exterminator to use a special tool a big hollow needle and get to the highest point you can reach between each set of studs and fog all of the walls. Thats really expensive so i have gone the route of natural oils that they are supposed to hate and even introducing groups of common jumping spiders. You end up with one huge jumping spider in the end since they are cannibals but harmless to us. Those little guys are the only spider i like. And the jumpers work better than the oils it just takes time. Might sound like a dumb idea but it works. I haven’t had anymore outbreaks since. So if you see a jumping spider don’t squish them they are our friends.
Cut the bite out
Walter Wichterman… Good point
If you put REAL apple cider vinegar in tour storage, it will last for a very long time… Has multiple used… And the mother can be used to propagate more acv if you have or can process apples

Okay… If you say so. *shrugs*
This is how my Boy passed away
Minus the added fingernail marks on your behalf…
Fingernail marks? What the$#%&!@*are you talking about. That red area is on my calf near my foot, where my sock left inprints on my skin. Not fingernail marks. I swear, I’m surrounded by idiots. Does that look like fingernail marks to you. Looks like dead skin to me.
If you didn’t notice till a month later how do you know that, that’s what the bite was?
I wish I knew this when I got bit!
Because I doctor and various other people told me so.
Yes it will it’s the best!
Lay back and take it.
I was bit and kept scrubbing the area and putting acetone on it. Burned like hell. I have a dimple where I was bit and a lille discoloration of the skin. That was 10 years ago.

Poultice of plantain works for sure!

I got bit when I was 20, not a big deal, just messy. I got bit again at 53, 4 times on the back, damn near killed me, 9 months later the scar tissue itches like hell sometimes.
Also works for things like bronchitis and strep. Just put cut onions near patient sleeping area. Didn’t know it worked for venom. Thanks for the tip!
Didn’t know about bronc. and strep, thank you
Onions are toxin magnets once you cut it eat it right away because it will soak up bad stuff quick. Let me put it this way ever see a ant hill with hundreds of ants? Well put half an onion in the fridge and in the morning imagine hundreds of millions of those ants (of course microscopic bacteria ) all over that onion when you pull it out. That’s everytime. Definitely good for germ control in a sick persons room.
