i had 2 spider bites (brown recluse) and was bitten a few years before that by the same kind of spider. I got prescribed Bactrim and it was not only effective, it went away with no lancing or cutting on the wound. The first time i was bit, they lanced it and made it worse, that ended with emergency surgery on my forearm so i wouldnt lose my hand due to the swelling cutting off circulation in my hand. So take BACTRIM as a better and less painful treatment.

Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (often referred to as Bactrim) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not specifically for tick or spider bites. While it may be prescribed if a bite becomes infected, it is not a first-line treatment for the bites themselves. For tick bites, monitoring for signs of Lyme disease or other tick-borne illnesses is essential, while spider bites may require different management depending on the severity. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment.
