[QUOTE="NomDeBoom, post: 3796722, member: 50898"] Similarly; I've been bitten thrice by diamond back rattlers (all about 2' long). Symptoms ranged from (dry bite) quarter sized green bruise surrounding fang marks on ankle, squeezing a bit of blood & venom from a finger, to me spitting blood & some tissue damage in finger. the 1st times went unattended. Last round took 20 vials of antivenin & a hospital stay... got outvoted on that one ;-} It just depends on how much toxin was delivered & the size, area of bite, state of health. etc..of the chompee I'm thinking these (minor) spider bites I've gotten lately are likely from the brown recluse....as I've seen a few around. The important thing is to get the bites cleaned out & DRY'd up. So far; Acetone, & Ice Packs (for the heat, redness & shininess ) has worked for me. As noted; I did feel very sleepy & a bit stiff for a while- so I slept & took lots of Vitamin C too. Pretty much over it now I'd say...after 3 1/2 days total. I've heard it said that, w/out spiders, we'd be 7 ft. deep in bugs. I HATE Flies & mosquitos, so a little. occasional, spidy nip here and there is OK as a trade-off ;-) [/QUOTE]
