Does cortisone counteract a brown recluse spider bite?
Absolutely not. Cortisone is a steroid hormone, so all it would actually do is keep your immune system from being at its best at the single most affected area. At best, it would keep it from itching quite as much, while every other symptom is untreated.
How do you identify a brown recluse?
Brown recluse spiders are infamous for their venomous bites. Such a powerful, toxic bite would seem to come from a large, predatory creature when, in reality, it is caused by a miniscule arachnid that has an unassuming appearance. This deceptive appearance is one of the reasons that brown recluse bites can very harmful. Most bite victims do not even see the brown recluse that bit them and virtually none are able to conclusively identify the bite once they notice it. This is yet another reason why these particular spider bites are so dangerous. A brown recluse bite requires immediate treatment and, if unidentified, the bite can quickly become severe. To ensure the most effective brown recluse spider bite treatment, there are several telltale signs to identify the bite right away. Because these bites are rarely painful and usually not even felt, it is important to check the body for physical signs. Upon returning from a camping trip, a long hike or any extended period in wilderness areas, the body should be thoroughly checked for small, red bumps or abrasions. If such a sign is present it should be cleaned and bandaged. Because many brown recluse spiders hide in clothing, old or musty clothing should be thoroughly washed before being worn. If any marks present on the body after wearing such clothing, the mark should also be cleaned and dressed. If pain develops after 12 to 36 hours, a doctor should be consulted. If nausea, dizziness or fever occurs, the affected individual should hurry to a hospital. The medical staff should be informed of the symptoms and the suspected cause. Paying attention to marks and symptoms may be the best way to make sure that a brown recluse spider bite gets treated. The only certain way to determine if a bite is truly from a brown recluse spider is to capture the spider itself. Then, a trained arachnologist can examine the spider and determine its species. The important thing to remember, not matter how the bite is identified, is to consult the services of a trained medical professional as soon as possible. Any delay could result in very dangerous physical symptoms.

Is the black widow brown recluse or tarantula make the best pet?
A tarantula will be the best out of the three of them because their venom is the least potent and the tarantula is the least aggressive depending on the species,the chaco golden knee and the pinktoe tarantulas are known to be calm.But if you have to choose between a black widow or a brown recluse a black widow is better because there not fast runners,but never keep a black widow or a brown recluse because there has been recorded deaths from them but no recorded deaths on tarantula bites,so even if the tarantula is more expensive its the one that wont be able to kill you,although make sure your not allergic of bee stings or a tarantula bite can be fatal
Do brown recluse spiders reproduce external or internal?
Wolf spiders often come indoors. It may be because the weather is getting cooler outside and they sense warmer air when they get close to a door or an open window, or maybe they just wander in. However, life inside a house is not a good situation for a wolf spider. They cannot easily climb walls, they can't climb glass at all, and they will generally have trouble finding water to drink. On top of that, they seem to get tangled up in loose strands of spider silk left around by other spiders that do like to live in houses, and they may easily get stepped on unintentionally. Generally, wolf spiders do best outside the house where they hunt on the ground in many kinds of terrain. Some of them even dig burrows in the ground, which is something they could not do inside a house.

Can US native spiders bite?
Yes, there are some spiders in the Southern USA that will bite people. The Brown Recluse spider is probably the best known for its venom. It won't actually attack people, but it will get into your house and hide in places you don't expect, like shoes and showers, and when threatened will bite. Although small in size, the venom causes a paralysis and eventual rigamortis of the flesh. This can be hugely toxic if not treated as soon as possible.

Spider Bite Treatment is Vital?
Proper care and precaution should be taken after a spider bite. All spiders have venom, but most people will not cross paths with the most dangerous spiders in the United States, the brown recluse and the black widow. People who live in areas with poisonous spiders need to take extra precautions. A spider bite can be as elusive as the spider. People often do not realize a spider has bitten them until they experience a toxic or allergic reaction. Larger spiders such as tarantulas may leave large puncture marks that could get infected. It is possible to contract staph infections from spider bites, so proper first aid treatment is necessary. If the bite is visible than clean the area and apply an ice pack for 20 minutes intervals. Sometimes an antihistamine may be administered if there is slight swelling. Identify whether or not the victim of a spider bite is experiencing an allergic or toxic reaction. When a victim experiences a reaction it is necessary to seek emergency medical care. If the spider is poisonous, or the victim is allergic to its venom they will have a toxic or allergic reaction. These reactions will include any of the following reactions: respiratory distress, swelling, lightheadedness, digestive distress, reddening or rapid swelling of the skin, fever, weakness, drowsiness, headaches, fainting or seizures. Without emergency medical care, a victim is subject to heart problems, shock and death. The venom of a black widow or brown recluse spider will cause these reactions, and medical intervention is necessary. If medical treatment is necessary, a doctor is going to administer treatment in according to what the venom of the spider is doing. A victim with a black widow bite will receive a muscle relaxant or high blood pressure medicine. Brown recluse victims will receive treatment for the tissue destruction its venom causes. Most people will also receive an update on their tetanus shot. Being aware of poisonous spiders and where they dwell is the best preventative action. Swiftly acting upon allergic or toxic reactions are the most valuable actions a person can take against spider bites.
