Itsy bitsy spider bites

We're committed to showing you the truth in a World consumed by lies...

Depending on the type of spider, the symptoms of a spider bite may last a few hours to several days or even weeks. Here are 7 ways to treat spider bites at home.

If you are bitten by a venomous spider such as a black widow or a brown recluse, seek immediate medical attention. If you are not sure whether the spider is venomous, seek medical attention just to be 100% sure.

Symptoms of a venomous spider bite can include severe swelling, intense pain and stiffness, muscle spasms, fever and chills, abdominal pain, vomiting, difficulty breathing, and lightheadedness.

Spiders do not feed on humans like some biting insects. Spiders usually bite as a defense mechanism. Most spider bites are not a matter of concern.

When treating spider bites, the main goal is to neutralize the bite and get rid of any toxins in the body. Many effective home remedies can ease the symptoms and promote healing. If symptoms remain after a few days, see a doctor. Please note that the information in this article is for informative purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.

When you’re bitten by a spider, the first thing you need to do is clean the wound with mild soap and water. Then, apply an ice pack on the affected area. The cold temperature will help numb the nerve endings, soothe the itching sensation and reduce swelling and inflammation.

Wrap a few ice cubes in a thin towel and place it on the affected area for 10 minutes at a time. Repeat as needed during the initial 24 hours.

You can also put the affected area under cool running water for a few minutes.

Note: Never put ice directly on the skin.

Baking soda is an effective treatment for spider bites. This alkaline substance can help draw out the venom, which will help reduce pain, itching and inflammation.

Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 3 teaspoons of water.

Apply this mixture on the affected area with a cotton ball for 5 minutes.

Wash the area with lukewarm water.

If the discomfort persists, repeat after a few hours.

Salt is another easy remedy due to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It can effectively draw the venom out of a spider bite to promote quick recovery. In addition, it reduces inflammation and redness.

Wash the affected area thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Sprinkle some table salt on a wet washcloth. (You can also use kosher or sea salt.)

Bandage this washcloth to the affected part for a couple of hours, then remove it.

Reapply as needed.

Another easy and effective method is to use a starchy potato. It can reduce the itching and inflammation, largely due to its anti-irritating and soothing properties. In addition, it keeps the affected area moisturized to encourage quick healing.

Peel 1 large potato and wash it thoroughly.

Grate the potato using a grater.

Put a handful of the wet potato shreds into a piece of thin cloth and tie it securely.

Clean the affected area with rubbing alcohol, then put the potato poultice over the bite.

Leave it until the potato begins to dry.

Discard the old potato poultice, and clean the area with warm water.

Reapply a fresh poultice, repeating until the symptoms are gone.

You can also relieve minor symptoms of spider bites by using aspirin. It can neutralize the venom to promote a quick recovery. In addition, its strong anti-inflammatory properties can effectively control swelling and inflammation.

Soak 1 to 2 aspirin tablets in a little water to form a paste.

Apply this paste on the affected area.

Leave it on for a couple of hours, then wash it off with lukewarm water.

Repeat 1 or 2 more times, if needed.

Lemon juice keeps itching, swelling and inflammation at bay. Being a natural astringent, it also helps quickly dry out skin rashes caused by spider bites as well as prevent infection.

Extract the juice from a fresh lemon and apply it onto the affected area using a cotton ball. Let it dry, then rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Alternatively, you can take a piece of lemon and rub it against the affected area for 2 to 3 minutes. Wait another 5 minutes, then rinse it off.

Follow either of these remedies a few times a day.

You can use the gel of an aloe vera plant to treat spider bites. The gel has natural antiseptic as well as anti-inflammatory and soothing properties that can help reduce pain, swelling, and itching. It can even aid in faster healing by keeping the affected area moisturized.

Thoroughly wash an aloe vera leaf.

Slit it open to extract the gel.

Apply this fresh gel on the affected area.

Reapply a few times a day for a few days.

Note: Store the remaining gel in the refrigerator.
