Treatment For A Brown Recluse Bite

Clean Bite With Soap And Water

Whenever bitten by a spider, especially a potentially harmful one like the brown recluse, the next thing individuals need to do is disinfect the bite. They can do this by cleaning it out with mild soap and water. First use cool water to gently scrub the bite out and rinse it out again with cool water, patting dry with a clean, soft cloth. This is a preventative measure to keep the venom from spreading even more into the bloodstream as well as keeping extra germs out to avoid an infection in the wound. While doing so, an additional safety measure individuals could take is to run the cold water over the bite for a few minutes before drying. Individuals should spend more than a few minutes washing it out with soap and water to make sure they are cleaning the bite effectively.
