Step 1: Look for two puncture marks.
Venomous spider bites tend to look a bit more concerning though. A brown recluse spider bite can turn purple-ish, which means the skin tissue is dying. Other venomous spider bites may look like a swollen blister surrounded by a white-ish halo, per the AOCD. If you notice any color changes around a suspected spider bite that make you feel uneasy, it’s best to see a health care provider.Swelling is par for the course when it comes to spider bites and, really, any insect bites or stings.
A venomous spider bite is usually another story. “Depending on the type of spider, you’ll likely feel a sharp pain at the site of the bite and the area may become numb,” Dr. Ascher says. A serious spider bite—again, from something like a black widow or a brown recluse—will usually cause intense pain and may also lead to severe muscle cramping or stiffness, abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting, or headache, among other systemic symptoms, Dr. Mittleman says.
To clean a bite that appears pretty harmless, simply wash the area well with warm and soapy water. If the bite is tender or slightly painful, consider taking over-the-counter like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. If the bite itches, you could take an antihistamine to quell the immune response setting off that sensation, Dr. Mittleman says. You can also apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel to reduce pain, swelling, and itching, as recommended by the.
“You also want to take proper care of your bite to prevent a skin infection,” Dr. Ascher says. That’s because the tissue injury caused by the spider’s fangs can serve as an entryway for potentially harmful bacteria. If you notice draining pus, spreading redness, increased pain, or skin that feels warm to the touch, seek medical attention, he adds.
For venomous spider bites, your doctor will likely recommend the same type of care if the bite doesn’t look too bad, along with a few additional steps to help control your symptoms. This will likely include a tetanus shot or booster, as tetanus spores can infect spider bites. In the case of a black widow bite, if you’re experiencing severe pain or other life-threatening symptoms , you’ll need to head to the ER to potentially receive antivenom, which is given intravenously.
