You’re Living Off the Grid When a Brown Recluse Spider Bites You. Here’s How to Effectively Treat It

brown recluse spider

Spiders are feared by many people around the world for a reason. It probably has to do with their eyes, scary legs, and the detailed webs they put together and later use to catch their prey.

If you have ever asked a prepper why he doesn't like spiders, he probably told it was because he didn't want to get bit by one. Even though the majority of spiders are harmless — generally the bite of a spider is as itchy as a mosquito bite — there are the occasional spiders that can actually cause you grave harm.

For every spider that won't cause you much harm, there are the few that will cause a lot of discomforts. One such spider is the brown recluse spider. This spider can make the bravest of survivalists squirm when they take the time to think about this venomous creature.

Because they knew if they were to get bit by one they would need a trip to the hospital. However, if a prepper was bugging out that might be a different story. What is a survivalist supposed to do when there's no emergency care available?

On the next page, learn what steps you should take if you are bugging out and get bit by a brown recluse spider. If there aren't any hospitals in your area you must learn how to treat it effectively now — before SHTF.

    The only step if not a hospital is to get a knife and dig all the puss out and it may take several times but the puss will continue to eat away the skin if not takin out !

    Got bit once. Used my pocket knife to cut open the wound. Let it bleed a little while before washing it out. Wrapped it in paper towels and duct tape. Scarred about the size of a dime.

    We have slot of recluse spiders around my house, with all the trees and shrubs. Activated charcoal paste on the bite and Virginia snake root. Vickie used that on me when I was bit. It was gone in two or three days.

    I got this 2 weeks ago. It seemed to get better but then got that ring around it. It was painful and swollen at first but the swelling went down after a few days, then it swelled again and was itchy. Now it feels ok but looks crazy. I’m guessing it wasn’t a brown recluse. Any guesses as to what got me?

    Two ways.
    1) use a low voltage stun gun on spider or snake bites to kill the bacteria in the venom, OR
    2) apply colloidal silver to spider bites. It kills the bacteria in the venom. Keep applying until the ire dissappear a (12-24 hrs).

    That’s ringworm… cover it with clear nail polish 🙂 always worked for us

  16. Lynn Curry Britt said:

    Ringworm. Put bleach on with a cotton swab through out the day til it dries up. Or if u have access to a fig tree pinch a leaf off and squeeze the milk on it.

  17. Rob Gardner said:

    Hmm. I know it started as a spider bite while in my basement. But, two days later I was in the river for a float trip. Maybe I picked up ringworm from the water through the bite. I appreciate the input.

    I got bit by one made a dead green hole in my leg put me in the hospital for a while

    Electricity kills venom, any venom. If you don’t have access to a stun gun, or tens unit, I’ve found that gauze, saturated with antibiotic and ordinary salt can be effective.

    This went crawling across me last week . Lol just a wolf spider. That’s a quarter by it .

  21. David LaVine said:

    Check this out. I think it was a recluse. I use lots of hydrogen peroxide to clean it several times a day.

  22. John Lenox said:

    I was bitten many years ago. To found many things effective to treat.

  23. Tommy Mapp said:

    I am In the hospital right now getting my right middle finger treated for a bite and it sucks.

  24. Terry Henck said:

    I wonder if a cut potato would draw out the poison? It works great for wasp/ bee stings? If I get stung I swell up crazy, but if I get a potato on it right away, I don’t swell up at all and the pain is gone like right away?

  25. David Briggs said:

    Activated charcoal. Got a scar that looks like a bullet hole on my inner thigh.

    You suck the spider$#%&!@*out, just like you do when a pregnant snake tries to lay it’s eggs in you, right?
