Are there any quick cures for a spider bite?


Question:
Help! I just moved in to my apartment, and its an older place, so, of course there are going to spiders. I woke up with my lip tingling and itching, went to the bathroom and the left side of my lip was swollen and itchy. What can i do? I've tried ice...and it isn't doing much.

Answers:
Hi, clean the site of the spider bite well with soap and water. Apply a cool compress over the spider bite location. Aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) may be used to relieve minor signs
Treatment for the bite of a black widow may require an anti-venom medication. Doctors may treat a brown recluse spider bite with corticosteroids..
Seek immediate emergency care for further treatment. Depending on the severity of the bite, treatment may include muscle relaxants, pain relievers and other medications, and supportive care. Antivenin may be needed, although it is usually not required. Prompt treatment is essential to avoid more serious complications.

All spiders are poisonous! Get to a hospital NOW!!!!!!!
There isn't much you can do for the pain but some pain killers. Don't listen to the first guy. Yes all spiders are poisoness but unless you feel sick or the area starts to look bad there isn't anything to worry about. Keep it clean.
