I was blowing my Dog off w/a blower, so I started blowing down some of the myriad webs around our home-(we live on a creek & bird sanctuary.) I developed several red dots w/a dark ring around it. I m very dehydrated & have a terrible headache and back pain. I m also dripping in sweat. The bite was very itchy and bled alot @ first. We have black widows and alot of different spiders around our home. I wish I hadn t blown the spider webs down, as one, evidently fell in my hair... Thanks, Susan Lessing
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor, Spider bites are actually rare occurrences and bites from most spiders cause local redness, irritation and pain that usually can be treated at home. These local reactions usually resolve without treatment over a period of 7-10 days. I would suggest you to follow Wash the site of the spider bite well with soap and water. Apply a cool compress or ice pack over the spider bite location. Over the counter pain relievers may be used to relieve symptoms. Thank you.
