House spider bit me

[MAC]

Did you see the spider? Hopefully it wasn't a recluse. Their bite can cause a nasty condition (necrosis). Antibiotics are the way to go. Keep an eye on the bite area. If it starts growing use a pen and mark the outline. If it gets worse go back to the doc pronto.

My spider was a whimp, it was the infection that got me...but the anti-biotics have all but wiped it out...thank goodness.

========================================

the area is showing signs of Rapid healing
(Spence's warning made me have it checked anyway)
just to be on the safe side...

the doctor is correct in not prescribing antibiotics

the theory there is to not allow BUGS to form an immunity to them!

unless there is an infection that requires them~ which there is not...

i am in control of my immune system like an off world scientist

and I study how to boost my immune system every single day

I'm in the camp that you should use anti-biotics only when necessary...the super bugs are just waiting to know your weakness.

In my case it was an easy decision, soon the infection would have spread to my muscle and blood where I would have been seriously f'ed up.

You must have been bit by a more serious spider, but lacked the infection...

but he couldn't use it

because he grows and sells chinchilla's

i stopped over to see how it was working out
for him

because i am dealing with several species of mice
and chipmunks too

the fact that this device also sends bugs packing
was an added benefit...

does it work? to soon to tell

but i'll keep you all posted...

A guy in my Basic Training unit got bit by a brown recluse and his leg swelled up so badly that it looked like a softball was underneath his skin.

Those recluse spiders are no joke, check out this recluse bite:

Nasty hu?

Spence, I am glad you are on the mend!
