i work construction in the desserts of California I’ve been bitten several times by things unknown. One time it turned into staph i ended up with “spider bites” every where so they appeared to be, needless to say that was timely and painful, that time i let someone talk me out of what i usually did, that won’t happen again.

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

I was bitten twice maybe by the same little bugger. Both on the back of my thigh the right leg was swollen and red with the famous bulleye dot in the middle.It looked like a bee sting but I did some web research and conclusion brown recluse… The left leg looked like a oil pimple so I didn’t do anything. Until it started to have the same phase as my right. It feels fine when I’m laying down but once I stand up there’s so much pain I can’t bare it. I’m a us Marine so I know pain but even these oil punks can bring me to my knees. I put some Chinese herbs found at acupuncture and that’s when the oozing blood started spilling out. She told me the herbs are sucking the venom out. Since then the swelling is practically gone, but still Oozing blood so I’ve started using baking soda to treat the winds will update to see progress.

My granddaughter has a big swollen area on her forearm. I am concerned because I believe it is a spider bite. it feels hard in the center, red and itchy. The you can see a huge circumference around the hard area. She is only 1 yr. 7 months. Should I be really concerned?

THANK YOU GERALD!!!! Bitten by a Brown Recluse at bottom of right index finger, just above webbing to middle finger. It was Sunday afternoon and I went to bed that night sweating the consequences of such a bite. Monday AM my wife found Gerald’s protocol using injections of a steroid around the bite. It worked like a blessing. Many folks in Central Florida suffer pain, disfigurement and huge expenses needlessly in treating Brown Recluse encounters. I spent less than $50.00 for the “cure”.
Thanks again
Gerald.

Okay, I was bitten on my hip, right near the bone, about 3 months ago. At the time I just assumed it was a pimple until it turned red and purple and started to swell, overnight. I admit I was sort of embarrassed and did nothing about it. (Stupid, I know!) Over two weeks time it got worse, more swelling and very painful. It hurt to walk. I then realized I better go see a doctor and quick. That following morning I walked to use the rest room and felt blood dripping down my leg. It had popped on it’s own. As I started to clean it with just warm water, I noticed it had made a hole about half an inch wide. Really gross.

Two days after that I kept cleaning it and using neosporin and band aids… swelling went away and so did the pain and hole. Just a tiny brown mark remains. Sort of like a birth mark. Today I write because it seems I was bitten again. Same place pretty much just a few inches lower. I too have no insurance and can’t afford a dr. so I just tried to care care of it myself. Within 4 days it went away same way as the last time just more oozing. I am very, very glad I came across this site because I know now if this happens again I better seek medical attention or treat it with something! I might not be so lucky the next time. Thanks!!!

i have a spot on my arm that resembles a pimple, but the entire area is warm to the touch.
before looking up why my arm was warm, i had squeezed the area and puss came out, just like a pimple. it was warm before i squeezed it and it’s still warm on the area, which made me look up symptoms and led me to this site. i suppose it was an insect or spider?

i live near nyc, are there any insects in this area that would cause this?

My 18 year old son supposedly got bitten by a spider during the day. He said his little finger swelled up some but I never saw it. He became nauseaus very quickly, started feeling numb on the left side of his body. Later he began jerking motions, that seems to be controlled some by a muscle relaxer. So far the bite area does not look infected. He has been also receiving treatment for lyme disease. Does anybody have those kind of symptoms from an insect or spider bite?

I just wrote a long letter, but because of my stupid computer i’m writing a short version. I got a brown recluse bite in Colorado 6 years ago, but i moved back into my parents and in a few weeks I’ve had six pimple looking bites not enough to think bed bites but I’ve also had fever, aches, sweats, and more one of the times I woke up with a dead spider on my back, it looked like a smaller daddy long legs, almost like a big mosquitoes smashed on my back, I have no clue what it is. I hope to hear ideas.

I’m replying to Mrs Stanley…
I suspect you go to a different doctor and it may of gotten infected
