People everywhere fear spiders for a good reason. It's likely because of their scary legs, eyes, and intricate webs that they put together to catch their prey.
If you ask a survivalist why they dislike and are afraid of spiders, they'll tell you it's something more, however. The truth is most people don't want to get bit by a venomous spider, especially when they're bugging out.
Most spiders are harmless, but there are a few that can cause grave discomfort if they were to bite you. Luckily the average spider bite is only as painful as a mosquito bite that tends only to get itchy until it heals.
For every spider that won't harm you, there are the few that will and one of those spiders happen to be a brown recluse spider. This spider makes even the bravest of preppers squirm when they stop to think about this creepy crawly venomous spider.
In fact, if you were to get bit by a brown recluse you would need to head to the hospital.
However, what if you were living off the grid, bugging out, or going through a SHTF moment and there was no emergency care available?
After the break, read up on what steps you must take if you get bit by a brown recluse spider when you're living off the grid. If there aren't any hospitals near you don't panic just yet — instead memorize these survival tips so you'll know how to handle a brown recluse bite later.

Peroxide..
Activated charcoal, you’ll be fine
Well for a hobo spider bite ground carcoal in burn cream drew the poison out and assisted the healing in 3 days
You mean “after you pound the spider to dust or after?
Be pro-active and kill every brown spider. If you go into any place that doesn’t get disturbed regularly, use long sleeve shirt and gloves and shake out before moving it around your house.
has anyone ever used meat tenderizer? i had great successs with it as it breaks down the protein based venom slightly faster than the surrounding tissue.

They ain’t no joke
Been there! I was the first person in WV to be bitten by one! You need treatment asap
DO NOT GO TO A DOCTOR IS ALL I CAN SAY .. Lavender and basil does it every time even after the pain stops ..( usually in 8 to 12 hours ) with lavender and basil oils .. always figured peppermint would help too .. but those two treat it and heal it fast Greg this blend or neat either way ..is a very effective PROVEN every time cure …just reverses it ..period
EXCELLENT!
Charcoal paste works wonders.
That is NOT a Brown Recluse pictured.

What’s worse move to Alaska and get eaten by a bear or live here in Georgia and get bit by spiders or snakes
I got bite 3 days ago upper right leg and this spider is no joke I am still feeling sick
Bentonite clay available from pottery supply, cheap.
any insect, that breathes thru its skin can be easily killed with a little soap in some water in a squirt bottle i kill fly’s all the time with it, and wolf spiders
I can’t even begin to tell you how bad of an idea this is.
If a pharmacy is not option to get antibiotics. Whats next ?
LOL!!! Why would you not have electricity if you live off grid or no internet? We havent been on the grid fo 2 yrs and we have power AND internet. There isnt even a grid to tie to where we live. SOLAR POWER WITH A BANK OF BATTERIES 🙂
Damn, I hate those recluse spiders… Always be sure to shake your shoes, boots and gloves out.
Good advice,thanks
I have a lot of spiders in my house cause I live in the woods.They give me the creeps.
as soon as you know you are bit shock the area with a spark plug wire. the DC voltage will neutralize the venom. works on rattlesnake been and wasp stings
I had a friend that was moving some firewood in his backyard,got bit by one and he almost died. He was in I.C.U. For two weeks. They almost had to amputate his arm and he went blind for like a week. They are no joke!!
Almost killed me
My wife has been bitten 2 times and immediately applied tobacco to the bite area followed by lemon juice. This worked well for her I will have to remember the charcoal.
Jason Schuelke, here is the brown recluse. The one in the boat was a wood spider.

Darn, I was eyeing my bushes on the side of the house!
Paul King arm, flailing your arm, the other one’s in the fire! Lol
You just might be turning into Spider-Man, kinda keep an eye on yourself
This is a must read for all people
Paint with iodine or betadine. Crush activated charcoal and bandage over it. If you catch it early enough
LIFE SUCKS………AND THEN YOU DIE!!!!!!!
Toothpaste of baking soda paste to draw out the poison.
Activated charcoal, that was supposed to be a joke right?
She was not bitten by a recluse or did not receive venom.
Clyde Booth , to me it is, not sure what the writer intended.
No No No all you need is to light some candles, sprinkle some chicken blood and say voodoo incantations.
