Answer 9

Answer 10

To be honest, it's probably nothing. I've seen dozens of bites at a summer camp I worked at for the past 2 years and my dad's a doctor, i just consulted him. All you have to do is apply After-Bite and the bubble should go away. Do not scratch it, if you cut it open it could get infected. However if you start to feel even slightly dizzy call 911 right away, as it could be a sign of poison. Good luck

Answer 11

if your skin starts to sluff off go to the doctor.

If you want mix baking soda and bit a water and put it on there. keep it clean.

Answer 12

did you see the spider?? if you did..check online and then see if its dangerouse. if not call the hospital and desribe the bite and see what they say

Answer 13

beep boop bop beep boop

Answer 14

I'd get to the Doctor's office, and if that doesn't work, the hospital.

Spider bites usually aren't anything too serious, but they are irritating. If you happen to live in an area with the more dangerous spiders - Black Widows, Brown Recluse Spiders, etc, it's really best not to wait and see, the Dr's is the best bet.

Good Luck!

Answer 15

The first thing would be to calm down, take a few deep breaths.

Now, did you see what bit you? Do you know that it was a spider, and are there any kind of poisonous spiders or other creatures where you leave?

Call your doctor, if he's in. If he isn't, call an emergicare place (a doc in the box), there should be some listed in your phone book. Describe to them very clearly what bit you, when, and very specifically what the bite looks like. Ask if they have any suggestions for you and if they want you to come in.

Until you have this information, place a bandage or gauze over it that is much much bigger and put it on very loosely, for protection.

In the future, see if you can get your home sprayed for spiders, etc, or if you got the bite outdoors start wearing insect repellent.

I hope you're alright, and glad i could help!

Answer 16

do you know what kind of spider..a black widow or brown widow or even a brown recluse..go to the dr  now..if not...takea benadryl and put some calamine lotion on it..if it gets hot to the touch starts weeping and looks red..the size of a quarter go the er..you may need a prescription to fight it...my daughter had one on her arm..it was near her fat glands...they gave her an antibiotic..i think kevlax..is how its spelled..because we werent sure what kind of spider bit her and it was a few days later and it was getting rounder the size of a quarter actually..one dose of meds and it was gone

Answer 17

You should go to the hospital to be on the safe side, some species of spiders are incredibly venomous an can cause SERIOUS problems... I've seen some pretty nasty bites that people left untreated, including instances where things had to be amputated.  If at all possible, kill the spider and take it with you to the hospital, or at least a picture of that kind of spider.  It will be easier for them to treat the bite if they know what they're dealing with.

Answer 18

u probably will only need to go to the doctor maybe the hospital though

Answer 19

JESUS!!! call 911 and go in an ambulance your foot is reacting to the poisen and NOT in a good way!!! just go! just go! call 911!

Answer 20

I would go at least to an urgent care.  They are going to ask you if you know what it looks like.  Their are some dangerous spiders out their.  A person I know got bit by a brown recluse and It infects from the inside out.  She had to get tons of her foot removed.  All of the muscle, fat and flesh.  It spreads so be careful.  If you haven't gone yet and it looks fine don't worry. Hope u r ok?

Answer 21

SQUEEZE IT like a spot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O1Vocv10...
