Brown Recluse Bite Treatment
Self-Care at Home
Home first aid care is simple. This self-care should not replace a visit to your doctor or emergency department.
- Do these techniques:
Apply ice to decrease pain and swelling.
Elevate area if possible above the level of your heart.
Wash the area thoroughly with cool water and mild soap.
Avoid any strenuous activity because this can spread the spider's venom in your skin.
Use acetaminophen for pain relief.
- Don't do these techniques:
Do not place any heat to the area. This will accelerate tissue destruction.
Do not apply any steroid creams to the area such as hydrocortisone cream.
Do not attempt to remove the spider venom with suction devices or cut out the affected tissue.
Do not apply electricity to the area. Anecdotal reports of high voltage electrotherapy from common stun guns have never been shown to be effective in any scientific studies. This can also cause secondary burns and deepen tissue destruction.
