Spiders do not usually bite unless threatened, but when they do, it is usually harmless. While most house spiders do not usually inflict anything that needs serious medical attention at all, some spider bites can cause redness, swelling, and pain.
In case you get bitten if you are bitten by a spider, here’s what you can do to take care of the spider bite:
If you are bitten by a venomous spider, such as a black widow or a dessert recluse, be sure to seek medical help from professionals immediately. If you are not sure whether the culprit is venomous or non-venomous, don’t waste time but seek help right away.
Most of all, if you feel severe pain, stomach cramps, a swelling wound on the bite area, or have a hard time breathing or swallowing, call 911 immediately or seek medical attention. For pain and muscle spasms, your healthcare provider might prescribe painkillers, muscle relaxants, or both. A tetanus shot might also be considered.
One way to avoid spider bites is to make sure your home is free from spiders. Spiders don’t just attract other spiders to your home but other insects as well.
