What if your husband came home with 4 inch bruise with what looks like a bug or spider bite in the center of it how do you treat it?

Ice it and if it gets any worse it may be from a brown recluse or black widow. Be sure that the "bruise" is really a bruise. If he was bitten by a brown recluse, it may already be necrotizing and needs to be taken care of by a doctor.

Can bactrim be used to treat a spider bite?

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.

What spider looks similar to a brown recluse?

the brown reclus cause if it bites you your organs can rearrange...and that's about the most stupid answer I've ever seen.Actually, a black widow's venom is a "neurotoxin," which means it effects the nervous system of the body. It's meant to completely paralyze their prey, and eventually kills them as well... but the venom is strong enough that it can seriously effect humans. Young children, elderly, and those who are weak in health can easily die from the effects of a black widow bite. The neurological effects include extreme nervousness, jitters, sweating, and aching joints, as well as nausea, vomiting, and extreme fatigue. A healthy adult can usually survive a black widow bite if not treated, but it won't be a pleasant recovery. However, just as some people are allergic to bees and ants, a healthy person could have an allergic reaction along with the other symptoms, which could surely kill them, so it should never be ignored.There are also cases of plumbers, construction workers, air conditioning techs, and other high risk jobs that run into black widows constantly, that build up an immunity to their bites to the point it's no more than a bee sting to them.A recluse's venom, however, has more of a dissolving effect. Actually, most spiders' venom does this, as it dissolves the innards of whatever it's trying to eat, and the spider "drinks" their prey, leaving only the hollow shells you sometimes see hanging in spiderwebs. But a recluse's venom is overkill. When a human is bitten, the dissolving effect can continue to the point of requiring amputation of a limb if ignored, or death if it's not eventually treated, regardless of the health of the victim.As for which is deadlier overall.... It's literally a matter of "pick your poison..."Jack Spencer

What is the worlds top 10 deadliest spiders?

Answer1. Brazillian Wandering Spider(banana spider)(known for wandering the forest floor often into clothing and shoes. Also know to be shipped in with bannas as stowaways, hence the name Banana spider)2.Widow spiders(which may refer to black, brown or Red Widows, all are equally venomous, but each looks slightly more unique than the others)3. Brown Recluse(though this bite can be treated, I have personally dealt with one, ouch! it is quick to react with a painful bite, and a nasty venom that causes necrosis)4. The funnel web spider( havent had the pleasure of owning one yet, but have heard that they are a treat)True tarantulas have a venom that is COMPLETELY harmless to a normal human being. The bite can be painful but nothing more than being stabbed by a pencil. The only way it could harm you is if you have an allergic react to bee stings, then it may be harmful
