a different poisonous spider (very similar to brown recluse... necrotic ... "tissue-dissolving" venom) ... Three red lumps on arm... got the little F...ker on its last bite.... ... called doctor office... given "recording" run-around... said wait 24 hours... my Sister (who comes today to run to town for Stacey... and will not be back till Friday) needs to pick antibiotics Today.... called back and explained "situation" to a Person... said they will get med at CVS... so one issue "fixed"...
... or so we thought...

Very cold in here Spider must have been going for the heater other side of me... killed it on its third bite... damn things are quick...
ReplyDeleteOh God, sorry to hear you got bit again. Hope you get the right meds and it’s nothing serious.
ReplyDeleteNecrotic venom bites (only destroys tissues near area of bite)...
Deletehad to remove a small section of dead tissue (not having it start to decay upon me...exposed dying tissue beneath and treating that ( before it gets a chance to cause possible Ulceration of flesh ... a "hole" would form in area of bite)
Deletewe know our "toxins" (and luckily... more than a few years of medical ... many books)
DeleteHave to doctor .. let him look at bites before we can meds for these three new bites...
ReplyDeleteLeft message with his assiant's phone of tissue changes of affected areas of skin... (hardening and some groupings of smaller "lumps")
DeleteHow many more of these spider bites can you take? Spiders are notoriously hard to kill even with poison... I hope you are going to be OK.
