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.

Can the bite of a spider give you powers?

The idea that Spiderman obtained powers by being bitten by a radioactive spider is pure fantasy; this cannot happen. The bite of a spider (or the bite of anything) does not give you powers, and should be avoided, since it may do you harm.

Benadryl is a good medication for allergic reactions. It reduces hives, itching, and redness. If your son has not taken Benadryl or other antihistamines, however, you should check with your doctor first. Be warned that Benadryl can make children either very drowsy or very hyper.

Do spider bites cause swelling?

Dogs can definitely become swollen after being bitten by a spider. They can have the same allergic reactions to them that people do. If you think your dog has been bitten by a spider and is having an allergic reaction, you should contact your vet to see if it needs to be examined. Although, if the dog doesn't seem to be having any serious reactions (swollen tongue, throat, trouble breathing, etc.), you can give him Benadryl to relieve the itching and swelling caused by the allergic reaction. The amount of Benadryl depends on the dogs weight and age, so you will need to call and ask your vet how much to give it.
