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?

Once it's in there, it's there. There isn't much they can do except nurse the wound by preventing infection, etc....

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

Damn Chubs...I've always heard that the brown recluse bites dissolve skin but until now I've never seen the damage they can cause. DAMN is my response to those photos...thanks for the education.....I'll go buy some Raid...

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.

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.

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.. There are treatments, but they are not sure-fire.

Yup, they're NASTY critters. Once you're bitten, there's not much that can be done! (Notice my copious use of apostrophes???!!!!)

I really dont think it's that easy.

Years ago there was a lady in Texas who was bit by a brown recluse. Both arms, both legs, and the tip of her nose had to be amputated.

If there is one spider I am scared of, it's the brown recluse.

congrats to that idiot who's gonna have his thumb amputated.

i don't think he couldve done anything to it. if you look at bitesite.com or something like that several people have 3 inch holes on their body because the had to remove the tissue that had venom... you can pretty much see through... ugh.

In the words of William Munny from Missouri:

"I've killed just about everything thats walked or crawled in my life..."

"...and that list includes BROWN RECLUSE SPIDERS!"


Kill all spiders dead.
