how do you get rid of a spider bite?

depending on the type of spider, you may need to get the skin debraded (they scrape away the affected skin), and then get a shot of hydro-cortizone.  Alot of spider bites, like a brown recluse, cause the affected area to decay to aide the spider in eating it.  The only fix is to actually remove the flesh in that area or it could spread.

You're probably right about it being a spider bite.\n\nKeep an eye on it.  If it starts swelling again or getting red and splotchy around the site go see a doctor immediately.\n\nIf it starts getting "hot" to the touch you can put some ice on it.

Get that thing checked, some spiders are dangerous..\n\nNot to freak you out, some spiders will just give you a swelling and some discomfort and leave you alone with it...\n\nHowever only very few are lethal, or their poison can bruise up your body and well I think it kills your tissue.. So you bleed internally... Until you finally die or just bleed out and you have blood all under your skin which will soon end up on your bedsheets and such..\n\nJust get it checked, unless if you know the type of spider that bit you..

allergy medicines might help...and though painful, trying to get the stingers out might help a lot if you can get them. try not to hurt your face though.

Summertime may be everyone’s favourite time of year, but mosquito bites can cause a great deal of irritation. Below you will find a list of ways to treat mosquito bites. \n\nCalamine lotion, otherwise known as the pink stuff, still works. \n\nIf you think it, it will disappear! It might sound crazy and those around you might think you’ve lost it, but this really works for some people. Just close your eyes and say “I feel no pain” or “I do not itch”. \n\nTry tea tree oil. You can find this almost anywhere thanks in large part to the internet, but you can also find some at a health food store. \n\nRub raw garlic over the bites. \n\nMake a paste of water and baking soda and put a dab of paste on your bites. Other pastes that you can make consist of: salt and water or salt and butter. \n\nApply cold compresses. Whether you use a face cloth, a towel, or you fill a ziplock bag with ice, make sure it’s cold. \n\nAloe vera, whether in gel form or straight from the plant itself, works magic with mosquito bites. Simply apply it to the bite and forget about it. \n\nToothpaste or hemorrhoid cream works on the bites as well. \nThe more you scratch a bite, the worse it is. The scratching can also lead to scarring and infection of the bite. If the bite gets infected, contact your doctor for proper treatment.

Soak the effected part in hot water, it loosens the skin, then use sterile tweezers to remove them, use alcohol to clean the tweezers and open cuts left behind from tweezing, sometimes if a splinter is really deep it will eventually work its way to the skin surface where you can easily remove it. It's best to remove them, infections can occur.

First you must find out if your house is infested with fleas. A simple flea trap that you can make at home is to get a bowl of water and mix in some dishwashing soap. At night shine a flashlight onto the bowl of water and in the morning see if any fleas have jumped in. The light attracts the fleas the soap and water drowns them. Once you determine whether you need to exterminate wash everything you have in hot water.\n\nAs far as things you can do to prevent flea bites. You can try lemon peels boiled in water and applied when cooled or you can try lavender oil mixed with some water. These are natural repellants. To relieve the itch a Benadryl works. Topical lotions like maximum strength Hydrocortisone and calamine lotion work too.

The best remedy I have found is called Diprolene. It used to be by prescription only, but it might be over the counter by now. It kills it in about 3 days.\n(I am assuming you are talking about a skin reaction to it.)

Okay, first you need to give it a proper burial. Pick out a nice little casket, make it look nice. Don't forget to invite all the spider's friends; maybe one of them could say a few words about the spider, and how they would like to remember the spider. Then bury it some place nice. Perhaps buy a little tomb stone. Hope this helps.

Put some ice on it.  That will help soothe it.  If the skin is damaged try some Neosporin.

Maybe, maybe not. There are alot of insects (ugh) that are crawling or flying around that could leave the same marks.  However, if it even looks like it is starting to rot (for lack of a better word), PLEASE don't delay.  Get to the ER ASAP!!!!!!!I have heard that brown recluse spider bites aren't really noticed as you usually do not know that you have been bitten.  Do a web search on brown recluse spider bites.  I ran across a site one time - wish I could remember the URL.  It had pages and pages of Pictures of people that had been bitten by a brown recluse. They rate each and every one of them.  The ratings are from a 1-5. Of course 5 being the grossest things you will ever want to see.  You can also send your picture of the place where you have been bitten and they will be able to tell if it was indeed a brown recluse.  Good Luck.....

If it has been two days since you were bitten and there are no problems showing up you have\nnothing to worry about.  While almost all (not all)\nspiders have venom most of them have little or\nno effect on vertebrate animals, the poisons are\nadapted to kill insects and other invertebrates.\n\nYour description of the spider does not contain\nenough information to identify it.  One of the most\ncommon spiders shaped like a black widow is the\ncommon comb-footed house spider Achaearanea\ntepidariorum.  It is harmless.\n\nFor information on spider bites in general, with\nspecial reference to brown recluses, but also\nmentioning others, see an article titled "Bites of\nbrown recluse spiders and suspected necrotic\narachnidism" by D.L.Swanson and R.S.Vetter\nin New England Journal of Medicine, vol. 352,\npages 700-707, Feb. 2005.

Remove the stinger. Avoid using tweezers to do this, however, as it can squeeze more venom into the body. Instead, carefully scrape a blunt edge over the stinger, such as a credit card or the back of a plastic knife, which will encourage it to ping free. \n\nExperts recommend applying vinegar to the affected area to relieve itching, and popping a painkiller if necessary (though always follow advice on the packet when it comes to taking any medicine). \n\nAlso watch out for allergic reactions. Don't hesitate to seek medical treatment should it leave you feeling dizzy, cause swelling through the body and/or difficulty in breathing.
