No,  309Ygi . Do you know what kind of spider that bit you? Don’t ignore it as some spider bites can be quite nasty.

My father in law did the same thing a brown recluse bit him on the back of his hand 🤚. He finally went back in and they had to lance it and then do a skin graft 😱. Hopefully 🙏 it improves and if not head to hospital soon or doctor 👍🏼😉

Has there been any improvement since you posted? As others have said, spider bites can be nasty, so please don’t ignore. Remember that not all weird or extreme reactions are related to MS!

You'd better believe you need to treat this very seriously.There are some very nasty spiders out there and they're not that hard to find. No matter where you go in the world,, I beleve your not more than 3 or 4 seconds away from a spider. Before I was sick I used to run a horse farm in Kentucky. I had black salt block feeders that I used in all my pastures for the horses I boarded to eat their salt from. I learned very quickly to warn my help and my children not to mess with these black salt block feeders. On any given day you could flip the 17 feeders I used in my pastures. And there would be black widows spiders living underneath in 3 or 4 of them. A black widow is a spider that has a bite that is deadly. This spider is black and about the size of a quarter for a large specimen with a red hour glass shaped marking on their back. The female spiders are the ones that are marked such and they received this unique and distinct name due to the fact that after they mate with the male spider they kill the male spider. Inside inside the house of People throughout the world that live in somewhat tempered climates like The United States and most of the world live a spider called a brown recluse Spider. If the spider bites you withinn hours your flush starts being eaten away. If help isn't received within A-day or 2 it can actually eat away huge parts of limbs and eventually the limbs and your life. In Kentucky. I set out spider and insect traps to check for them and I found them in my basement In several places around the house and garage where they were They are we're cool, dark, and damp spots, A spider's look like a common long legged Brown house spider that isn't dangerous. The distinction/ marking that sets the brown recluse apart from other brown siders is the fiddle shaped marking on it's back.

These aren't just 2 of the spiders to watch out for in the United States. I'm sure there are dozens more around the world that I am unaware of, but the point is spider bites can be extremely dangerous. Seek help immediately and don't take no for an answer.

we have a peach orchard and we were cleaning up the sheds . The pain came as pain in my elbow . 2 fangs 3 bites . 2 on elbows one onto the head it affected the muscles in my neck and throat . I was shutting down at the er . Curling spasms eye sight pain . I knew I had to get out of there and take immediate care . We have both types of spiders and clear scorpions. The pain has started back up . Today is shot day as well . Thank you all yes it’s serious but have a first aide kit pack it with all things even extra pain meds you don’t take unless your dying . Pack your own er medic bag . Or call ambulance but you still have to wait in the er . So pack a drs bag lesson learned. Thank you your welcome lololol

I get this sort of reaction from bee/wasp stings. My chart says "allergy to bee/wasp venom" and I carry Epi pens because every time I have been stung, the reaction was more severe.

My guess is you have developed a severe allergy to spider venom. Tell your doctors as some allergic reactions can be fatal.. Though this one isn't, the next could find you struggling to breathe and require EMTs.

[Allen5280]

How are yoh getting along?

[irhunter]

Hobo and Brown Recluse Spiders bite start killing flesh immediately. I know as I almost lost two toes to a BR bite. I was teaching scuba class and a student (a RN) recognized the purple streaks or blood poisoning. Immediately went to the ER. Much longer and I could have died. Respect spider bites! I hope the best for you!

[pamgarner]

so sorry, I have a bad reaction to fire ants and i am allergic to benedryl, so it is Zyrtec for me and the er forget it ,

309Ygi has their been any improvement since you posted? Did you go back to the hopital? As many have said, spider bites can be VERY dangerous and deadly. Please update us when you can.

ER’s are overloaded and short staffed. Emergencies come in all the time which can change your emergency to a lower position. You were 5 hours closer to an answer. The new game is patience. My daughter went to ER at 9:00pm on a Monday. They decided to admit her at 3:00am. She didn’t get a room until 6:00PM Tuesday night! They also ordered an MRI. She didn’t get that til FRIDAY. Sooooo…if you go, bring your patience and play games on your iPhone. MS can turn normal reactions to who only knows.

I am praying you feel better soon!

What did your Dr. say?

[309Ygi]

well I followed my gut feeling and I walked out after 5 hours went to Walmart and went to the pharmacist and he got me hooked up with strong benidrile and tylonal and ibuprofen . I prayed cause it felt like it was breaking off Went to sleep with I pack and woke up no pain . Today I need to take my magic potions for pharmaceutical again it just started . But I was out pulling weeds . Your prayers brought Miricals thank you thank gods light to you

Sorry i missed this post... full time travel trailer living have lots of spiders visit. Even had a Tarantua (live in Southern Oklahoma and we have scorpions here too) crawling across my floor this spring. I've been bitten several times and had someone teach me a trick to get that nasty venom out. Take a little baking soda and add some water drops to make it into a paste. Coat the bite with the paste and cover it with a band aid. As the baking soda dries out it pulls the venom back out of the bite greatly reducing the effects. So if it happens again that's what I do when I get bit.

Thank you 😊 Great information...I live in south west ...desert...always shake things before inserting fingers.

[GratefulNeeC]

No, but it's sounds like a reaction, please inform your doctor and got his/her assessment. Feel better 🙏
