Can a spider bite increase depression? I have been crying for 5 days for no apparent reason and 10 min. ago found a bite on my rear end that I hadn’t noticed before. It looks to be about 10 to 15 days old according to pics.

Arlita

I was bitten by a Hobo Recently During A move,I Live in Oregon and can tell you the experience was not a pleasant one. I woke up to a burning sensation on my right index finger.There I noticed two fang marks with a sac blister between them full of what I describe as a greyish blue ooze that broke open.upon my cleaning of the area. It has now been four days since the bite. On first day Severe headache and nausua with fatigue, Headache untoucable even with heavy duty pain medication.and ecah day after non-pleasant vision disturbed,severe nausua and weakness. Went to Urgent care first night,for treatment,my advice to all fog with insecticide before moving things from storage, and each fall fog your homes.This will kill egg sacs also.Keep yourselves protected an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.Believe me this is an experience you don’t want to have.Day Four still feeling Ill.Will take up to two weeks to totally heal up.

Debbie,You sent a comment about a spider bite that turned black and was oozing. Well my cousin and I think it might be a Fiddle Back spider bite.

Is it just me or do a lot of these sound like boils, rather than bites?

I was bit by a spider i am not sure what kind but the bite stung real bad. My shoulder starting hurting about 15 minutes later it has been 4 hours and my shoulder is still hurting. I am a heart patient does that matter? I don’t have a way to photograph the bite and am worried about Necrotic Arachnidism Syndrome.

i got bit by something, not really sure what. but it is a raised bump the size of a dime, maybe a little bigger, and has several red streaks running from it. it is very sore to the touch. i was bitten on the forearm by the way.

5 years ago the middle knuckle on my right hand was bitten in the middle of the night by a spider which came down from a ceiling fan. the hand was in pain almost immediately and is still still feels like a red hot poker is embedded in it 5 years later and the middle finger is numb is tingling tingling as well as the adjacent fingers. My hand doctor does not believe me -operated for carpal tunnel and it still kills me.
