[QUOTE="Star*, post: 166746, member: 4964"] Dude was bitten by a recluse in FL, in a sandbox when he was a baby. Within 30 minutes his skin was starting to go necrotic, had gotten blistery, he was vomiting and we rushed him to the hospital. They took the bad skin off, and stitched it closed with glue and metal strip bandaids. He has a tiny little scar - last I ever saw it (age 8 or so) inside his thigh. Put some hydrocortisone cream on it - and that should help with the itch. If you can take 2 Benadryl? That should help with the itch also from the inside out. If the hydrocortisone and Benadryl do not relieve the symptoms in a day or so and the site gets ***** or more inflamed - then I'd get to the doctors. The chances of most ER guys knowing what a bite site is vs. the kind of spider is very rare. You have your windows open and you are a warm blooded thing - the spider has no idea you are human - it probably saw you laying in bed sleeping and thought I'VE HIT THE MOTHERLOAD - I'll never have to work a web again! Most Ohio bites from spiders are from Wolf spiders. And you may have been bitten not by a spider - maybe it was a mosquito. Keep an eye on it - and keep hydrocortisone cream on it. Nurse Star - lol [/QUOTE]
