So whose hand are we looking at? And did the thumb make it, or was it amputated? Did this person seek medical attention, or did he just let it go? Why wasn't the posion drained?

It's not a joke, folks.. That's what a necrotic spider bite does.

Maybe if you saw the spider bite you, knew what it was, and went to the ER with the information immediately, or did it yourself.. I'm afraid that even by then, it would be too late as it has already spread. Your blood moves fast, remember. The problem is that it takes a few days for anything terrible to happen, plus the fact that most people don't ever see the spider that bites them.Originally posted by: SagaLore

No way, there has to be a way to drain or dillute poison like that. The spider bit would only have been near the surface of the skin, so they could have easily cut that tiny piece out. Then for the rest of the thumb, a few small cuts around the bite could have been bled, and maybe soak the hand in epson salt water.

Again, there isn't much they can do for a necrotic spider bite except nurse the wound to help prevent gangrene and other nasty infections..
