I might have been bitten by a spider and the sore in the first week or so looked like the picture you have on page one of spider bites on your website on the very bottom right. I have been very curious if my sore- which by the way I still have two months later and looks like a half inch diameter raised red bump without the pus filled white head in the middle-if it is a spider bite what spider could it be from? Do you know what kind of spider caused that sore in the picture you have? I live in Hawaii, and we do have black widows and brown recluse here. I don’t know what other pisonous species might be here.

I have a bite that looks like the 5th row down 1st pictue. It has been on the inside of my wrist for about a week. Should I go to the emerency room since my doctor will not be in for 3 more days. The only strange simptom I have is that my hand feels like its sleeping. sorry I do not know what bit me. Only that I was kind enough to help clean out a mans house that had been placed in a nursing home. thanks

I have a bite that looks like page 7, 7th row, 2nd column. It is the size of a 50 cent piece. It did start to have a little pus come out but quickly disappeared. It raised up appx .5 inch and had a very hard black center. The surrounding area is very red and painful. No other real symptoms though. Can you tell me what kind of spider bite is this and what should I do to treat it?

My daughter and I were bit by a spider. The bites looks like the image #17 with a hard knot under the skin. By the time I got through killing the spider I could not tell what kind of spider it was. If you know I would appreciate letting me know what kind of spider it was.

Thank you!

Hummm…I went strawberry picking Tuesday, April 1 and on Wed April 2, I noticed a very small bump on my right pointer finger…pin prick size, that was very sore to the touch. Upon touching it, it started itching and I started scratching. Thursday, April 3, I awoke to a swollen aching finger (which I could not bend) and the pin prick size now the size of an eraser head with a pus pocket on top and around it is what looks like a ‘bloody blister’. Well, I popped the pus pocket in the middle and the usual ‘junk’ came out however the center is now ‘hard’ and sore to the touch. Looks like picture #21. what kind of spider bite, if any, is that? I’m going to the doctor tomorrow…

Thanks….

Hi, my girlfriend and i were at an abandoned building Thursday, April 10′th [3days ago], and she happened to sit down next to some spider and got bit. She says her bite is horribly painful and inhibits her from walking great distances. Her bite looks exactly like the bottom picture in the middle row on the second page. I’m really worried, and I don’t know what to do. She complains of an increasing number of headaches, the chills, extreme dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Recently, she told me she began to have slight abdominal pains. She also insists on pushing doctor visits to later dates. I’ve felt the area around the bite, and it’s tight and tough; the bite itself is a purple circular, raised bump surrounded by red, irritated skin.

I’d appreciate any help anyone could give me [Spider name, treatment, etc.]

Thank you.

Hello there everyone….

I have just recently experienced the worse spider bite of my life. It is on my right thigh it hurts, burns, and is beat red with these two little holes showing where the point of entry is. On page 17 of the picture with it being picture 7 out of all the pictures that are on here that is the one that looks the closes to what i have on my leg.

Would anyone that comes on here have any clue to what kind of spider bite that would be?

The one on me looks as follows-
There is a black spot followed by a purple circle the a really red circle that is pretty big. Now I did go to the doctor today and they gave me an antibotic and pain pills (no surprise there) but at this point this is the very worst bite i have ever had in my life.

I am visiting my son in Texas and have gotten a bite on my foot that looks like these pictures. Luckily, it is small and not too sore, although it is very itchy. What is the treatment and what can I expect so far as how long it will be a bother? I have put cortisone 10 on it which helps the itching. Thank you.

this is for question # 2 a black widow spider is one of the deadliest spiders there are, so i doubt that it was a black widow.

Jay,

Take her to the doctor. My son got bit and I took him to the doctor and they gave him antibiotics. Take her soon because little kids get get harmed more than older kids.

Krista,

Go to the hospital if you are in extreme pain it could be a brown recluse and it could get worse.

I got bitten by a spider while working /gardening in my yard a couple of weeks ago. It is near my tail bone, lower back area. The bite now looks exactly like Debbie’s bite on page 2, photo # 4, a flat crater with a very pronounced /raised ring around the bite.

The bite constantly oozes clear liquid and is about three quarters of an inch wide. It has never itched very much, and is not too painful, but it is a raw sore. Does anyone know what type of spider causes this bite?

I live on the coast in South Carolina. From other pictures, it looks like a hobo spider bite, but they are not found where I live.

I was bitten by a spider about 5 years ago on my hand, but it was a totally different kind of bite — extremely painful with my hand swelling to boxing glove size. Thanks for any help.

My 3 year old daughter was bitten by something the day before yesterday on the top of her foot near her toes. Her entire foot from toes to ankle was swollen immediately. She was itching the bite area and said “the bones inside hurt” but has since stopped itching and says it no longer hurts. The area has turned splotchy red and is about the size of a 50 cents piece and looks very similar to picture #17. She knows she was bit by something black but cannot tell me what it was. Can you please tell me what kind of spider bite is in picture #17.

Thanks
Jennifer

i have a spider bite, and i didn’t realize it was bite until i saw a little red dot where i was bit. the area surrounding it is purple, it doesn’t itch but is sensitive to the touch almost like a bruise. its swollen. i was bit I’m sure Saturday.

I am allergic to any bug bite, esp spiders, not very severe, but sometimes they can swell up to several inches, plus rash. today is Monday night and i feel weak in the joints. if this sounds like a bite rather than anything else, i would like to know what bug and how serious it could be.(my internet is too slow to choose a similar pic though =(

thx

my son has a bite that looks like the 4th row, 3rd picture titled “spider bite day 3″ could you give me any particular information.

I’m especially concerned about the necrotic tissue in the center. Should it be removed by a Dr?

Hello,

I think I got bit by a spider a couple of days ago. The bite is on the top of my left thigh. It is extremely painful. It hurts the most right when I stand up from waking up and sitting for a long period of time, it also occasionally stings.

The pictures above may help but, the best I can explain by is page 2 row 4 third pic. Last night my husband squeezed a bunch of gunk out of it. It was the worst pain I have felt in a while.

I am curious as to if that would help or make it worse. I’m also wondering if its even a spider bite. I also am interested in how long I should continue trying home remedies before I go to the Doctor. Please give me some insight!

My son was bitten by something on the eye. There are three or four little bites that have now scabbed over. This happened 05/11/2008 and today (05/12/2008) I see the scabs. His upper eye lid has swollen almost shut, and the bottom of his eye is very swollen. The eye isn’t very red, maybe a light pink. Could this have been a spider bite?

I got bit I think about 3 days ago, it at first looked like a pimple then turned into a red raised bump on my neck with a purplish dot in the center and a purplish line on the inside of the rash.

It feels tender and sore to the touch and just sore when I move my neck a certain way is this a spider bite and what kind do you think?
