Spider Bite Video
Warning: This is a very disturbing Spider Bite Video and may cause those with weak stomachs to vomit! It is a video of a young man who was bitten by a spider on the face and video tapes himself as he squeezes the pus from the bite. There was sound with this video, but because it contained vulgarity it was removed – this also improved video speed.
There is a lot of pus and as I watched it, it sent chills down my spine. I highly recommend you not play the video if you don’t like blood and pus!
This Spider Bite Video was posted to make those aware of what can happen if you leave a spider bite untreated!
The whitish-yellow substance shown in this spider bite video (pus) is produced during inflammatory responses of the body. The pocket of pus shown in this video actually contains a protein-rich fluid, known as liquor puris, and dead neutrophils (white blood cells), which are part of the body’s innate immune response. Neutrophils moves to the site of infection and engulfs and kills bacteria. After it has killed a bacterium, the neutrophil dies and is what you see dripping out of the bite area.
Spider Video
Again, this video of the spider bite may be disturbing!

I don’t want to leave a comment, just want to know what spider caused this? I have seen several spider bite videos lately, claiming to be spider bite infected wounds. All squeeze out pus and the white neutrophils. What spider causes this?

I watched the spider bite video and it is odd that the only time I got weirded out was at 4:45 which I then repeated it because I was more like in shock than anything. It didn’t gross me out and in fact, it fascinated me.
Ariel your a sick girl! But this spider bite video has risen to Viral Video Fame. On Thurs. Aug. 15 2007, this video was played on G4’s Attack of the Show, placing number 3 on there list of videos of the day, then was shown to an unexspecting croud of people what can happen if you are bitten by a spider and not treated. Congrats to the publisher, if he even reads this…….
Even though i have seen this spider video before…. i was fascinated by it, at no time was i grossed out by this….. you might find this strange but i watched it three times …. and ariel… your not sick hun,you just have a curious nature… and thats a good thing
I had a spider bite when I was 13 on my knee and yeah, it hurt real bad! My dad squeezed for an hour and finally took a pair of tweezers and pulled out these two “pus rods”. They were were clearly two holes from the fang marks on my knee. I highly suggest any type of bite like that in the video where you have a hugh mass protruding from your face or body…go to the hospital or doctor for proper treatment!!
Interesting video, but as a nursing student I couldn’t help but wonder why he didn’t get some gloves. I hope to God he sterilized those tweezers! WOW!
That was just about the most gross video I have ever seen, but I couldn’t stop watching it. That guy has to have the biggest pock mark on his face.
ugh. gross.
I came across the video last night and was shocked how bad it was. My son was biten 4 weeks ago at his friends house and it was on his stomache, just over night he has a big hole there and when he sqeezed out the infection there was a long white thing like a worm.
Does anyone know what that worm like thing is? Also about a month before this my son’s friend had all these bumps on him everywhere and the Dr. wasn’t sure what they were at first, they were like marbles under his skin. But after tests were done the Dr. said he was bit by a wood spider, it took weeks to get rid of the bumps, but he didn’t have the infection and pus. Just a bunch of marble like bumps. He took medication to get rid of them and still has scaring.
That was nasty. I got bitten 3 times by a brown recluse spider in 1989 and it was identical to the bite in the spider video, only it was on my leg. I was in agony for a few weeks and after repeated antibiotics and visits to the hospital I was told it was a bad reaction to a flea bite!!!! watching this movie brought back memories of when it happened. When the core had been removed the hole that was left was about an inch deep and the diameter of my little finger. Yeuch!!!! I also had a bite on my armpit, that was excruciatingly painful and had to be sorted out in hospital. That one swelled up to the size of a golf ball. I hate spiders!!
The spider bite video was the most disgusting thing I have EVER seen!
iI had a spider bite on my leg… white stuff came out of it too. o.-
I really need to know what type of spider he was bit by in the video, I came close to hurling.. then my sis came by and of course I had her watch it te-he. Please let me know what kind of spider bit him !!!! Thanx
That was GROSS but again, what kind of spider caused this?
brown recluse spiders causes this .
This is an abscess, not a bite. That amount of pus and blood would not come from a spider bite; bites have more clear or amber fluid in them. Blood and pus indicate a bacterial infection and this is most likely a boil.
Barf, though – I couldn’t stomach watching this spider bite video. I don’t know how you folks watched it multiple times!!!
I woke up this morning to a painful knot on the inside of my leg. It looks like a mosqiito bite, but it hurts really bad sending pains all down my leg. I was bushhogging my farm yesterday and smacked off a lot of spiders. Now it has a red spot under it about the size of a quarter with a small white spot in the middle, but no hole. I sqeezed a small amount of blood out and it is starting to harden up. My stomach is upset and I’m getting the shakes. What will make this go away?
This video is incredible, and I could not help but watch it several times. I find it both fascinating and disgusting that the human body can produce so much stuff in such a small area. I had a spider bite several years ago, but rather than swelling up like that, the center of the wound site turned black and hard. On the second day, I started seeing red streaks going up my arm where my veins are, and over time they kept heading up until they reached my shoulder and I decided it was time to go to the doctor. At that time I had no insurance, but I went to an urgent care place anyway. These kinds of wounds are not something to play around with. The video is amazing, but that extremely unfortunate gentleman should have gone to a doctor. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up with a very bad staph infection.
I actually just got bit by a spider and was searching google to see if I could find out what kind of spider bit me. I bumped into this video and let me tell you, what ever kind of spider bit me, I just hope it’s not the same as the one this guy got bit by. This video didn’t gross me out, But I’ve never seen so much pus before in my life.
So does anyone know the outcome of what happened to the guy on video? Just curious
I too watched this spider video a few times…in total shock…wow I am soooo glad i live in alberta, our spiders are pretty harmless compared to what I have seen on this site!!!
HI EWE THIS IS DESCUSTING STUFFFFFFF
Hi, my son and i spend alot of time on the chipola river about 50 miles east of tallahassee, fl and I just showed my son the reason to stay away. We are always outside and this spider bite video made him aware of how nasty this spider is; thank you for the educational footage.
I had exactly same thing on my face a few months ago. My daughter just had one on her stomach last week. My boyfriend had 3 of them back to back within one month. Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of this Brown Recluse Spiders out of our home? I had pest control company sprayed through out our home last week. But I am so afraid of this spider. I have a 2 year old son, thank god he has not got bitten by them but rest of us have….So anyone please please tell me how to get rid of this spider!
Very informative ….though after reading comments on video I couldnt bring myself to watch it. Probably will get picked up as a a scene in Arachnophobia…Return Of the Brown Recluse!!!
Ok, now that was a nasty video, but i love spiders and i want to see one more better, ok? I just love spiders!
That abcess in the video needed medical attention! VERY DANGEROUS to do what the guy in the video did!!! A surgeon needed to lance that thing, flush antibiotics and possibly put a drain. He also needed very strong antibiotics and hospitalization. I hope he is OK.
Don’t do anything like that at home!! The face is very sensitive to infection and all that squeezing could very easily
lead to blood poisoning (septicemia), menengitis and a host of other complications.
Oh My word! I couldn’t even watch the whole spider video. That is so amazing how something that small could cause a big mess like that!
I do not believe that this is a spider bite, but rather a BOIL caused by a staph infection to the hair follicle!
I am a survivor of an identical infection and can provide documentation proving what I say is true. This is possibly WORSE than a spider bite! lol
Both Mindy and Pat have also confirmed that this is an abscess, though with an “MD” misspelling both [sic] “abcess” and “menengitis” I would be dubious as to his degree.
What I saw in this video mildly resembles something that I had a while ago on my thigh. #22 You all should have that checked out because mine was a staph infection. My daughter was getting them on her leg also. I kind of brushed it off at first but when they kept popping up I sought treatment and had to get antibiotics to get rid of it. You should not try to cure something like this at home. When I originally was squeezing the boil on my thigh which was the size of a quarter pound hamburger patty literally I had the same consistency of what’s in the video. That is gross hope he is ok with no permanent scarring
I can’t emphasize how gross that video was!! It made me throw up!
It was more intresting than it was gross!The pus just freaked me out like a hole lot! I was just wandering what kind of spider and spider bite it was?
-Candie
That video was quite graphic. It freaked me out a tad because I was just bit by a spider three days ago but not sure what kind. My bite is really red with a pus-like crater in the middle and seems to just keep getting more pus-filled by the day. It is Saturday and the Dr.’s aren’t open, so I guess if it keeps getting worse, I will go on MOnday. When I squeeze it clear juice squirts out, but not actual milky pus. Does anyone know what kind of spider bite this could be? And what should I do?
Sorry about the spelling, Daniel. I really am a pediatricain and lots os us can’t spell and/or type – like me! So this time I’ll try to be more careful! LOL. ( That’s why our handwriting is so bad! ) Anyway, it’s best not to squeeze any of these bites. Only increases chance of infection. Lot of spider bites will have a central vesicle (clear bubble) or pustule (opaque, white bubblr) with an erythematous ring (red ring). Hope I spelled it correctly. THe ring may feel hard but it should not hurt. There is usually intense itching as it is an immune response to a foreign substance (like an allergic response to a mosquito bite). That’s why all bites don’t affect every person the same way. If you’re not having fever, chills and it’s not doing much after the third day or so, you’re probably ok. Fever, chills, pain when you push on it heat,
affected area is increasing in size, or you’rejust plan not sure or nervous about it – see a doctor. Even in a rural area like where I live, there is usually an urgent care clinic or ER within an hour’s drive.
I watched this video and I just want to know what kind of spider bit him and how long did it take to get to this point?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.Nasty but you cant help but laugh
Forgive my bluntness, but you are sick Paulfh! There was nothing funny about the spider video at all and in fact, it sent chills down my spine! If you found this funny, you need to get a checkup!
Thats it! I am now terrified of spiders. I used to be scared, not any more. I will run and scream like a little girl at the sight of all spiders . Good idea posting this people. All I wanted was to identify the bad brown spider…….but seriously, i have a new born child does anything work to scare them away ??? How about that sonic sound thing??? any ideas????? Im scared.
Wow! I was bit by something Monday morning on my second toe and thought it was just a mosquito bite. It got puffier yesterday and today my toe is red and purplish and the redness is now spread since this morning from the toe to the whole top of my foot to the ankle.
The site of the bite oozes and looks bruised now around the spot. My whole foot is sore constantly and painful to touch the toe itself, even my bed sheets hurt rubbing against it this morning. The toe itself feels like it is 20 times the size it should be and like it is going to split open, but, to look at it doesn’t seem to warrant running to a hospital and my
The doctor is closed now, it is after 5. It felt worse than it looked, but as time goes on it is changing. I am not sure what to do for it, I started searching for home remedies for bites to relieve the pain and/or pics to try to identify it and am coming up with all this scary information!
I am starting to freak out a bit! I cannot believe the guy in the spider video can even TOUCH the bite site! Let alone squeeze and pick at it with tweezers! OMG! I am thinking I should go to the ER! Any suggestions?
I watched this while i was eating a drumstick icecream and it didn’t gross me out at all =D
About 7 years ago I was bitten by a brown recluse while sleeping on my couch. The week before, my pest guy had shown me what they looked like so I knew what it was immediately. Most people do not feel it biting them at the time. I called my doctor because of my history with allergic reactions. He told me to take benedryl and go to the hospital if my symptoms worsened. I did what he said but by 8:00 the next morning I had a red rash from head to toe. Long story short– I went to the doctor twice and the emergency room three times before being admitted to the hospital for three days. (would have been longer if insurance companies didn’t think they were doctors) Because I did not have the hole and the usual appearance of a brown recluse bite, all five of my doctors came to a conclusion. They decided that I reacted so fast to the spider that his venom was not what I reacted to. It was toxins in the silva that gave me a systemic reaction. I had to be on iv steriods even after I got home. It was a really bad experience but I will say that you have to pay attention to your body. One doctor tried to tell me I had strepe throat…
Why doesn’t he go to the doctor instead of doing it at his own washroom?
AHHHHHHHHH *pukes* ohhhhhh thats gross *pukes again* ohhhhhh
My daughter was bitten by an insect two weeks ago and we were trying to identify what may have possibly bitten her by looking up different bites…insects vs. spiders when we came across this video. Having worked for a physician for 10+ yrs. I assisted in several lancing procedures but this video tops them all. I must emphatically agree with the good MD, this guy should’ve gone to the ER or to his family doctor for treatment. What he did was far too risky and foolish.
This is more of a comment to , Yvonne #19. –Who lives in alberta, and the spiders out there our spiders pretty harmless.
Hate to tell you this but Alberta has there fair share: plus the Brown Recluse spider, Hobo, black widow, brown widow, and now recently the Tarantula. The only one that doesn’t carry a venous bite is the Tarantula spider (I believe so).
My sister was biten by the Brown Recluse spider, two years ago and on her leg. To this day she bares the ugly scarring, along side a massive hole; at one time looked like that man face in the video.
(She lives in Brooks Alberta).
ehhh gross! That dude is so retarded to do that to a bite, Cory was right!
wow. that video was rather graphic and disturbing. I recently underwent treatment for a brown recluse bite on my fore arm. And after watching that, I am so glad I decided to get it checked out and taken care of. I also found out that staff infections are common with these bites. I hope that people with suspected bites will consider treatment, rather that try to fix it themselves.
-your website is great
Heather.
I just watched this video & pray that the young man sought medical treatment. The amount of stuff coming from his face was truly disturbing. My 5 yr old little girl has been bitten by some type of insect & I found this video while trying to identify her bite. I will be taking her to the doctor tomorrow am ASAP!!! I only hope it isn’t anywhere near as serious as this unfortunate young man experienced.
This is the most nastiest stuff I have ever seen in my life! Please people, we are all human, if you have a bite like this SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION and don’t be like this person and wait until it swells.
This spider could be a Brown Recluse commonly found in the United States. It is very important that you seek medical attention immed. These bites have the ability to eat 1inch of flesh an hour and can have serious long term issues. While in the ER, ask the physician if you can Receive Hyperbaric Treatments. Many hospitals all over the country have these chambers and can help stop the spreading of these types of infections from bites.
very gross video but it shows what a spider bite can do to you. I have been researching on spider bites just to understand more about which spiders are poisonus. If i had been that guy I woul d of been at the doctors or er. he put himself at risk doing what he was doing in the video.
I just watch the spider bite video and I know that is painful because I was bitten in the face before. It looked like i went round 4 round with a boxer my left side of my face was big. The second and third bites were on my right leg upper part and it really hurts when i walk, sit or move. I’ll send some pictures.

As I email this, my 35 year old daughter is in a hospital fighting to keep her foot from being amputated from being bitten by a Brown Recluse Spider. She had sprained her ankle first, and did not realize she had been bitten. They have had to cut out at least a 4 inch square section of her foot around the ankle and there is a huge hole.
They pack it with gauze which they pull out for the dressing changes. Antibiotics, incredibly painful, they have to medicate her each time they debride it and use the whirlpool and do the dressing change. She is on a continuous pain pump in her IV as well as heavy duty oral pain meds and valium to tolerate the procedures each day.
To date she has been in the hospital 6 days. This is nothing to mess with and if anyone thinks they have been bitten, they should get their behinds to the ER post haste or risk amputation and possibly death!
If this infection goes into the bone, all they can do is amputate. It has been horrible. This young man should have been in the hospital, not doing it himself.
We carry Staph Aureus on our skins, if that goes internal then we go into septic shock and can die. People die from it every day.
I love your taste in videos! I’m a RN who loves I&D’ing abscesses!
I believe this to be an abscess, and not a recluse bites. Recluses aren’t just hanging around biting everyone. Most people that show up in ER with a “spider bite”, have a abscess which has also developed into cellulitis.
This is what has happened to the man in the video. I wish I could talk some sense into him. This needs cultured and started on IV antibiotics. This man could be dead for all we know. I can’t even imagine the possibilities of where this infection is headed. Most definitely has the potential to develop into osteomyelitis.
The “sac” that he is removing is simply the “pus sac”. Fibrous tissue.
I will caution everyone that follows this website to not squeeze these infections. When you see them first develop, keep your hands off of them, your skin clean with soap and water. Warm compresses only. And get to a doctor for by mouth antibiotics.
MRSA is real and is starting to spread outside of the health care facilities. It’s not messing around. Staph is everywhere. You best defense is to keep yourself clean with frequent handwashing, etc. Soap and water is always the best defense!
My sister got bit by a spider and it swelled up. The funny thing is that she doesn’t feel sick and the wound doesn’t itch. Anyone have any ideas please post a comment! I’m very worried after seeing this video.
I have never seen anything like that. I was just bitten by some kind of spider on my hand, but nothing like that but i would have done the same thing
Regardless of the type of bite/infection/boil this young man had, he may have done more damage to himself than the bacteria that caused it, simply by playing doctor.
I hope common sense took over after the show and he sought help from a medical center.
I am somewhat of a skeptic and I have seen special effects that are more detailed than this video was. However, if it is real, I wish him well.
This is the craziest bite I’ve ever seen!!!!! the grossest part was when he used the tweezers!
I don’t know how I found this video. I was researching spiders and spider bites, because I have seen so many around my house, garage and garden. I wanted to become informed. Now, I like popping, peeling and picking at myself (and others)(come on now, guys, some you are also like this)……but that was absolutely *%^$#@g disgusting! Anyway, what happened to that man?
well I not like spiders they’re legs gross me out the way they move!
Just so everyone knows. That was an absess/boil not a spider bite. It looks nothing like a spider bite, recluse or other. Furthermore any idiot who would treat it like that would likely do more damage to surrounding tissue.
I was bitten by a spider n three spots. Thought it was shingles until I found this video. Gross. My bites were so painful I dint want two touch them. Just cleaned them an put Neosporin and a band aid on it, popped a couple Tylenols…don’t know what kind of spider bit me. (live in new orleans), but the necrotic arachnidism syndrome cycle chart fits the description of what mine looked and felt like.
This is NOT a recluse spider bite…the recluse bite is redish and then hardens over time. It does not swell and fill with tremendous amounts of pus, the skin actually hardens and dies very quickly. The video appears to be a very bad staph infection, a boil that has become so infected that its oozing pus.
even this webpage has info on MRSA STAPH!! go under spiderbites, its on the left side of the page because 9 out of 10 people who think they have a spider bite actually have staph…….read the facts people, don’t jump too conclusions about your self diagnosis
This is absolutely fascinating and rancid all wrapped up in a cute little video. I’ve watched it like 4 times. I can’t get the ladies in my office to watch. Whatever spider did this …..I want to make sure and steer clear of it.
i would like to know what kind of spider bite this is please.
how lond did it take for the core to come out?
how long does it take for it to clear up after after the core comes out?
Thanks Lisa
For those of you who do not choose to read others peoples comments and consistently ask “what kind of spider caused this bite?” I can confidently say that this is not a spider bite. For those of you who are absolutely postive that this is a bite delivered from species loxoceles reclusa (brown recluse), you are also very wrong, The reaction to the bite of a brown recluse is necrosis, in other words, the flesh and muscle around where the bite was delivered will decay leaving a “hole”, also brown recluse spiders are an exiled species living only in the southern United States. What the young man in this video had was a boil, or to be even more specific, a furuncle or carbuncle: An abscess in the skin caused by the bacteria. The boy in the video is stupid, the best thing for him to have done would have been to seek medical attention as soon as he realized that there was a problem.
Another important little fact is that most people will only be bitten by a spider once or twice in their entire life. Something to think about before one jumps to a conclusion.

that was diffenty a racluse he did the right thing its hard to work with gloves im sure he washed his hands if it was someone else yes they need to where gloves i had that same kinda bite on the inside of my thigh he really needed some doxician after that that was really bad
Ahhhhhhhh what in the world! That is crazy did it hurt?
To eliminate spiders and most other kinds of bugs like them, use diatomaceous earth. It is sold in swimming pool stores or department stores. It is used for filtering. Look it up if you want to know what it is made of. It comes in generous amounts, 10, 25 lb boxes.
Take a handful and sprinkle it around any area you want to rid of spiders (insects). Takes a day to have an effect. It is not harmful to people or animals even if eaten. You can dust your animals with it. (good for fleas).
It works by grinding the legs off the insects. They have the kind of legs that attract and hold things. This stuff just tears them up into little pieces. Don’t worry while grinding their legs off their abdomen is usually punctured and the insect dies.
Kind of a just reward, don’t you think so?
My son and daughter both have gotten bites like these and we were told by the doctor NOT to squeeze them. They were probably caused by a fiddleback or recluse. We still don’t know what kind, but extremely painful and the tissue around the area is damaged for a long time.
That poor dude,hope you went to a doctor!!!!you heard of septic shock????and the lady was very right about the gloves,let all of us know your out come dude,ya,we care duhhhh!
that was disturbing… where was all of that mustard-like crap coming from?! how did it all fit in there?! his bite must of been constantly producing pus by the second! that had to of been a pretty big spider! can you imagine meeting one THAT big?!
poor dude! that spider bite video was a little gross but i wasn’t disturbed. hey i live by a creek and theres tons of spiders and i hope i don’t get bit by one!
dude maybe u shulda got that looked at u kno. and oh ya what the heck kinda spider did this?
What you see isn’t a spider bite at all, that poor chap had a worm in his face. If you watch the spider bite video, you’ll see that he’s pulling out a worm out of that large mass.
i work in a hospital and have seen my fair share of spider bites as well as snake bites, and can tell you that is not a spider bite.more than likely its a boil, a spider bite hurts and if you look at this guy he is talking and joking around like its no big deal, THAT MUCH PUS EQUALS MASSIVE INFECTION.i like to know what his face looks like now that it has been “fixed”
Wow its my first day seeing these spiders and that video is uhhhhhhh! imagine that happening to you although i have been bit by a baby widow didnt hurt much when it bit me only when it injected its venom felt i little wiggly but hurted! But it hurted….see ya !
Hi there….could the person in charge PLEASE, change the title of this video to “Massive Zit Explosion”, or “Boils Gone Wild” or “If you have one of these, it is NOT a spider bite!” or some other proper title?
Lots of folks are watching this video thinking it is a spider bite vid, which it is NOT. Thanks, I now return you to your normal programming…….CZ
Ummmm, there are these places called hospitals.
ewww! that is nasty!
that is really BAD
I’m being treated for an infection in my hand that the doctors’ believe MAY be a spider bite. It meets all criteria above and even after antiobitic treatment there was still a good deal of (pus), pus, swelling still etc. Treatment started Easter and I still am running fever, hand hurts etc. NOT FUN AT ALL!!
Sorry no picture, husband Salmon fishing while hot and has camara.
Oh, and there is a black dot in middle of bite, of course IF that is what it is.
Hello Guys,
That’s a horrible bite video, but formal.
I want to know, does it hurt to squeeze the pus out of the actual bite area.
Thanks.
First of all my leg looks like his face all swell up but it has form a head. I do not know if its a spider bite are not but since i seen this video I do not want my leg to come infected like this. So i will be going to the hospital on tomorrow. Thanks for posting this video!
I was bitten by a brown recluse, that basted got me once and i woke up and went to kill it and the fella tagged me again. this was on my left hip, right above that hip bone.
The damage it left wasn’t very bad only because i squeezed it as hard as i could, but i had to pull these scabs off… kinda gross, sorry; they were the hardest scab i have ever seen, they were 1/16th thick and hurt like the dickens to pull off, usually ripped the wound more… sorry again…
Well i wanted to comment to let every one know if you push with the middle knuckles on your index finger you get better leverage and force when using them then your finger tips like the guy in the video.
OH Btw, even though i did push out the pus (not as thick like above but more or less white blood cells rushing to the wound trying to kill the infection w/ a little blood mixed in) but i was in the hospital for 1week and a half, and almost died.
quite frankly, if a spider of any kind bites me, it may as well kill me ! I cannot live knowing one of those disgusting creatures bit me! Especially knowing how badly the bite affects your body. Dude, go to the doctor!
HELLO??? Why is this kid not in the ER? I would not be trying to mess with that on my own! YUK! I would need some serious pain killers and antibiotics for that.
This video was not gross it was pretty shocking but that’s what happens when you get bit by a spider . I have a spider bite right at this moment and i don’t know what to do. It bit me in the neck and i can not eat any thing.
THIS WAS NOT A SPIDER BITE.
As others have said before in this thread, this was a staph infection of a hair follicle. (Furuncle or boil if you will.)
In fact, the majority of spider bites are misdiagnosed staph infections. A brown recluse spider bite will tend to leave a much larger hole, as tissue necrosis occurs. Staph infections look similar to spider bites, but differ in important ways.
I was once bitten by some type of spider and something very similar happened to me. My husband was also bitten and he actually almost died because the venom was traveling up through his vien to his heart. It was the most pain either one of us had ever felt. We got treated and now we both have crazy scars and are terrified of spiders. I still want to know what the heck bite us!
As a retired registered nurse I recognized this as a spider bite that had abcessed with a staph infection. You will notice that the guy never washed his hands, cleaned the area first. What you are seeing is the core that is being removed. Wonder if he was on antibiotics?
o.k. so this video was awesome….but i dont cringe at the site of blood, pus, or anything of that nature…i can’t believe how huge the bite place had swelled up though o.O wow! but anyways kudos to the dude that filmed this…it was awesome!!!
Sorry everyone.. With the location of this infection.. And the amount and “stuff” that is coming out of the wound… This is most definately not a spider bite. If this was a spider bite… They outer skin would have worn away very quickly if it were infected to a degree strong enough to cause a bite this bad. The skin around the affected area was for the most part in tact… This infection came from deep within.. Much deeper than a spider can penetrate. This is a swollen infected lymph node.. Simply an infected cyst. By the looks of it it is probably a staff infection, possibly MRSA which is becoming a very well known infection in the community now days. I had had a MRSA infection in a cyst in almost the exact location. I will say that my cheek swelled almost triple it’s usual size.. I wish I would have taken pictures to show you all. It is seriously much MUCH like this guy heres. Pus and blood poored out of it.. I noticed he had water and a lighter.. These types of infections are most easily taken care of by moist heat directly applied.. The hotter the area, the easier to force it to burst.
Generally a staff infected wound like this will easily be mistaken for a spider bite.. The only way to truely tell is from an experienced doctors eyes or after a swab and several tests have been run.
I have a spider bite right, now which is why i am watching these videos, and was just recently bit , most likely by a Brown Recluse, but we dont no for sure, and it started off small, but then it started going into a huge whole, but i got strong antibiotics to stop the venom from spreading throughout my leg, and i could have to get plastic surgery if the whole doesnt fill in , it is really bad, !!! i didnt feel it when i got bitten, so i dont no where or what i got bitten by, …
well it was actually very amazing to see this and watch it. I know its very weird for me to say this but to me squeezing pus of of a pimple or something similar is actually fun.
ok. This past week my son came to me with a bite of some sort on his belly. After looking at it I noticed two fang like marks. I knew it was a spider bite. After it swelled up really big I knew I had to do something. That evening I started to work on it. It looked just like this video. No JOKE. It took 3 days of working at it to get the pus sacks to come up.After I got the pus sacks out the next day it looked a lot better. I wouldn’t want the spider that got him to ever bite me. Talk about painful.

i recently got bit by a spider i thought it was a roach! but my friend said it was a spider today is the 5th day and i squeezed some bugger like pus and something like a long string…. it was so weird so i went ahead and googled it ! and ran into this video yuk! that how mine look!!!!!! and painful a circle size of a nickle red hot and hard and very painful. Along with irritaion and muscle pains on my lower back and leg……
This video was one of the most disgusting things I have ever saw…yet,…I found it oddly entertaining!
Love this video. It’s like popping a really good zit.
As a medical transcriptionist, I can attest to the fact that doctors can’t spell (see above posts, LOL).
As for the bite versus abscess controversy, one can lead to the other, they are not mutually exclusive. I had a spider bite near my eye that I did not realize was a spider bite at the time I first got it, and I scratched at it at first and squeezed it, thinking it was just a blemish (it was a really hot, sweaty day and I thought that the combination of sweat and sunglasses has just caused an irritation). This caused it to get infected, and I ended up with a whopping infection and abscess on my face that became life-threatening.
So while a bite might generally involve a serum-filled welt, an abscess can certainly develop if, like me, you are careless and allow the wound to get infected!
