If you're not allergic, you should immediately wash the bitten area with soap and water and gently scrub it in a circular motion. Then put a mixture of baking soda and water on the bite to neutralize the venom. Apply ice, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, to keep the swelling down. An antihistamine will also help with the swelling and itching.
