All venom is made up of different combinations of proteins. They do their harm by breaking down the tissue.
We used to keep a bottle of “Adolphs meat tenderizer” in our ER. I recommend you keep one at home. If you get stung (bitten) by something that uses venom (bee, hornet, spider), immediately make a paste from the white powdered meat tenderizer mixed with a little water and apply the paste under an occlusive dressing. It will break down the venom. Meat tenderizeer works by breaking down proteins! But, it won’t harm the skin. It works much better than baking soda.

My entire body has broke out in white salt size raised bumps. I itch constanly, my ears got infected & my eye drained thick white matter. OhSU Dr. said Dermatitis. Naturpatic tried
lots of concotions, nothings helps. Now i am going a herbaligist route with Snake root & Plantain oraly. Otherwise I have my affairs in order.

bite marks were 2 on each side like a claw with a deeper penatrating mark in center lower than claw. I saw the spider large but killed it with no thought of saving it to identify. My entire body is a mass of red and itching dry rough skin.

Anybody got a clue or want to help ?

OMG!!! A MIRCLE cure for sure!!!!! After the shots we kept the sites clean due to infection and also black salve on the bites…..I am telling you these bites were UGLY!!! The very day the cortisone shots were done around the bite sites HEALING begin!!! AMAZING!!!! Redness, infection, everything began to heal!!! He is still healing but no skin grafts needed and more loss of flesh…these bites went from a half dollor size to a quarter size in one day on the cortizone shots. The next 3 days the bite sites went down to nickle and dime size…..Truly Amazing!!! A cure in our book for sure!!!

Some came out, but not a lot. Then the area begin to spread and the site was now down the forearm and up to the middle of his bicep. It was so hot I was getting concerned so I started looking up what could have possible done this. Well I know we have black widow spiders here at my house, because I have killed 3 of them myself. But I had no Idea we had brown recluse spiders till I found this site and saw what one really looks like, and low and behold I found on crawling in the kitchen one night after the bite.

Anyways, his arm had not gotten any better by that following saturday. I used the baking soda paste poultice and his arm looked about 5% better. we went to a urgent care center and the doctor said he thought it was a spider bite and gave him a tetnus shot and a PCN base antibx. And told him to come back in 2 days and they may have to lance the site. Well when I got home I had already purchased all kind of home remedy products the day before to work on his arm. I tried the baking soda again and it helped slightly. Then I did the potato poulitice and WOW!! After the first application he bent his arm up and soooo much drainaged came out. It was crazy!!! I then applied one for him to use for the night. He slept with it on and that morning when we took it off, it was about 75% better.

Most of the reddness and swelling had gone down, and the pototo looked awful, because it had pulled all of those toxins out of his arm. Needless to say that by that Wed which was only 3 days later the only thing that was still showing any form of infection was right around the bite!!! The rest of the arm was back to normal, he was feeling himself, and today almost 2 week to the day, his arm is completely healed. Please dont wait until the area affected is necrotic or needs to be lanced, just try the potato!! IT WORKS!!! Thank God for natural remedies!!!!

I learned this from a friend of mine who passed on recently; when my boy was 2 years old he had a boil, rather large one, on his butt cheek, my friend told me to get a pan and boil some water so i did clueless as to why, he then asked if i had a glass bottle with a small neck, he then put the bottle in the water for a few minutes, then placed the opening of the bottle center on the boil and within 2 min it pulled everything out of my sons boil, the cooling of the bottle creates a very strong suction, if i get any strange bumps, boils or what ever that is the first thing i do and so far it has worked great!

That’s it except for the time i chose to listen to someone else my bites are not that big of a deal, then again what works for one might not work for someone else, my son is now in his 20’s and my friend has passed on so I’m passing his knowledge to others which has helped me for 20 years!

Thank you Denis
