Spider Bites - Picture, Symptoms, Treatment and Photo of Spider Bites
Spiders are widely known, and feared by some, for their capability of biting human beings. While most spiders are believed to be harmless to people, some spider species have bites which are known to be medically significant, and which can produce noticeable symptoms in humans. For approximately 200 species in 20 genera, severe human envenomations can result, with symptoms including necrotic wounds, systemic toxicity, and in some cases, death.
Types of Spider bites
There are many types of spider bites and when scientist study and classify a spider, they are able to learn the which ones have deadly bites and which do not. Understanding the differences in spiders, how they work and where they came from is the key to determine bite damage.
Spider Identification
Spiders can be found living in almost every habitat on earth. The only place that spiders are not found is only the harshest environments on Earth, the North and South poles, the highest mountains and the ocean. Some spiders have been found near the ocean, living in coral near the ocean edge.
Treatment of Spider Bite
- Wash the bite with soap and water.
- Apply a cool compress.
- If necessary, take over-the-counter medication to control pain or itching.
- Antibiotics are not helpful unless the wound becomes infected.
- Do not cut or apply suction to the wound.
- Monitor the bite for redness, swelling, pain, or signs of infection.
- Re-apply Bite Rx to control bite symptoms and promote healing.
- If redness, swelling or pain does not subside or there are signs of infection consult your physician.

It is important to realize that feeling thirsty is like a red flag - it means you are already dehydrated by at least 2% of your body weight. You should not wait until you get into this state before topping up.
