Should you give benadryl for a spider bite?

If you think you have a spider bite...you should still see a doctor. Recently people have been mistaking spider bites for a serious and possibly fatal MRSA infection. I was given 50 mg Benadryl (diphenhydramine, generic, is available in sleep aid sections as well as antihistamine sections OTC) after a black widow bite and it did help a lot. If it is a brown recluse spider bite, you should see a doctor. People die from both of these types of spider bites.


Untreated spider bites?

It depends on the type of spider. A bite from a black widow or recluse spider - of course - would be much more harmful than a common gray house spider. In any case, any kind of spider bite can be nasty. Try to identify what type of spider it might have been, and keep a close eye on the wound. Wash it, and use an antiseptic. However, if there is any questions or concerns, I would see a doctor immediately. I have seen spider bites that have progressed and caused very bad side-effects. In addition, never let any bite - whether animal or insect - go untreated, in terms of cleansing, and use of antiseptics

Will Neosporin help a spider bite?

Neosporin will not help the irritation but it will help the area heal quicker. For quick relief, take Benadryl for the swelling and itch. If the area starts to turn funny colors, see a doctor for an antibiotic because spider bites can get infected.
