Spider Bites As the Brown Recluse is not a hostile spider it is not naturally endowed with hefty fangs. Their hollow fangs are no bigger than the depth of a staple. These small fangs do not allow the Brown Recluse to pierce clothing so when a human is bitten it is due to direct skin contact with the spider. This spider will bite a human when it perceives an attack or fears being crushed. Most bites occur in beds while its individual occupant is sleeping and attempted to unknowingly roll on top of the spider. Because the Brown Recluse prefers quiet, hidden places many humans are bitten when they reach into a little-used linen closet or dress in clothing and shoes that are seldom worn. Physical Effects of a Bite Although the fanged bite of the Brown Recluse does not go through deep beneath the skin it is very painful. This pain is caused by the toxicity of the venom. The venom contains a neurotoxin, an agent that works to inhibit the cellular interaction of nerve cells. However, addressing the necrotic component of the spider venom is of more significance than the neurotoxin. The necrotic compound in the venom can lead to rapid tissue death. The appearance of the wound is marked by two pin-sized puncture marks followed by the area turning red and swelling. While a fit person may recover without any bad reactions and heal without the assistance of medical intervention, this is not always the case. Left untreated, a pustule will form and the venom will spread downward, turning the infection site blue. Quite rapidly, the venom works to burrow out a hole in the wound site and can reach down to the bone. Physical Symptoms There are several symptoms that the victim of a Brown Recluse Bite should be aware of. As previously stated, many individuals do not have a cruel reaction to the neurotoxins in the venom, but a medical professional should always be consulted. The symptoms listed below are congruent with the Brown Recluse and should be noted by the medical professional who is caring for the victim: · Burning and itching at the injection site · Fever · Alternating chills and sweating episodes · Nausea and vomiting · Joint pain · Bloody urine and kidney failure · Jaundice · Hemolysis, a condition when the red blood cells burst and internal bleeding begins Treatment In any event, self-care never takes place of a doctor’s visit. Following the spider bite, the victim should:
In any event, never attempt to suck the venom out of the wound or apply a tourniquet. Although this was once common practice, doctors have learned applying a tourniquet above the wound site may cause irreversible damage to nerves and blood vessels. Attempting to suck out the venom from the wound may prove dangerous and possibly lethal to one or both people, for the human mouth is one of the largest carriers of bacteria. If one or both parties involved in treating would attempt to extract the venom, a pathogen may cross the blood barrier. Attempt to capture the spider because it is difficult to give a positive diagnosis based solely on the wound site. Dead or alive, the medical personnel will want to examine the spider in question. If the victim is having a severe reaction needs to be contacted immediately so field medics can begin treatment while en route to the hospital.
