Spider bites?

[pes_laul]

Ok so I was sleeping minding my own business and a freaking spider bites me twice on the palm and on the wrist. and It hurts really bad and been hurting for almost a half hour. Is there any treatment for spider bites?

If it's a Brown Recluse bite, go seek some medical treatment... it will become serious.

thanks for that rocket I think you just gave me arachnaphobia.



Do they even have brown recluse in michigan.

Pes,
He told you the truth, my hunting buddy was bitten two years ago and if his wife had not taken him into the ER he would have lost his foot. The brown recluse is found anywhere in the US. They cause a lot of people to be rushed to the ER every year.

eh I know but like I said I'm pretty sure it wasn't a brown recluse.

I have done some research and they are not really native to michigan http://www.brownreclusespider.org/brown-recluse-spider-location.htm

I think (and hope) it was just your common house spider.

They are not common in MI.
More common is the Northern Black Widow which I used to see when I was growing up in Holt, MI.

Ive never had anything against him but that little dude just burned his bridges with me.:deadhorse: And man that hurt, it left a little white mark with a red circle around it.

 

[Katastrophe]

Uhhh... Silly question time, but have you talked with your parents about this?

I'm no doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but you may want to get that checked out by someone of the medical persuasion.

That pattern is not a good sign. You'd better get it looked at. It takes a while for necrosis to set in and when it does, or if it does, life will really suck.

My dad isn't home yet so I will mention it to him and see what he has to say.

and spud how long does that necrious (or whatever you called it) take to "set in"

Spider Bites

Dude....call your Dad, don't wait for him to come home...we aren't trying to scare you but that mark generally means one of two things......either the bite was poisonous or your body is allergic and is having a reaction to the bite. Take your pick. This is not something that you want to screw around with and play HERO with!!!

 

[dws]

I would highly advise calling somebody to get you to a hospital. I come from a medical-dominated family, so, I know that getting to a doctor is the best advice for you.

You really don't want to mess around with spider bites.

 

[pes_laul]

yeah I'm probably gonna go check it out tonight

the mark is pretty small though.

 

[dws]

yeah I'm probably gonna go check it out later.

the mark is pretty small though. And I feel fine and it's been over 12 hours

Okay, well, I'd check to see if you can climb up walls now. Take tot's advise and make yourself a suit!

 

[bigoldron]

Kris, don't play around with those bites. Get some medical attention.

Let us know what you find out!

I haven't even stayed at a holiday inn express lately but I would tend to agree with that. My brother got a pretty rough infection from a spider bite.

 

[Childbride]

Kris... get medical attention. no kidding. always better safe than sorry.

i've seen some horrid things where people just blew it off.

show it to your parents, buddy... please.

 

[pes_laul]

I got it checked out and to my relief it wasnt anything really bad. I'm just gonna have some pain through my arm throughout the next week or so.


they did identify the spider but I can't remember what it was. they used the big words. but It was a little potent but nothing that could really hurt me.

I got some antibiotics for it.

though the only downside is it's a little hard to play guitar now with my hand being sore.


And I'm working on that suit tot:rotflmao:

 

[peachhead]

Good to hear, I'm glad it wasn't anything worse. :AOK:

 

[warren0728]

that's good news kris! :bravo:

I hate that, that always happens to me when I goto the doctor, they use big strange words...and as soon as I leave somebody asks me, "So, what did the doctor say?" ...and Im all like "duh":thwap:

I swear I wanna get a digital voice recorder, just for that sole purpose...and then I can go home and look the big words up... "Oh, they said I had a spider bite...now why didnt they just say that?"

I reckon this would work with auto mechanics and lawyers as well.

:rotflmao: Thats a good idea.



lol now all my friends call me spider man:thwap:

 

[Spudman]

Love your Spiderman avatar Kris. lol:bravo:
I'm glad it wasn't too serious. On the upside...it looks like Kirsten Dunst is in your future.

 

[thearabianmage]

Did your spider bite look anything like this?

Not quite sure what bit me, nor were the doctors (we think it was a tick and that is Lyme's), but it itched like hell, I tell you what! And it hurt - the swelling was pushing against the muscles inside my thigh, which, as you can imagine, made it difficult to walk. But it gave me an excuse to hobble around with one of my staves like an old wizard.

My wife is the worlds worst about that. She wants to know every detail and every word said. Not just about the doctor but everything else too. My version is: "He said I'm not gonna die and gave me some medicine."

BTW, Kris, we're all glad you're going to be OK. Take your meds and do what the doctor says and pretty soon, you'll get back to speed. :AOK:
