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!
If you have any comments, please share them below.
i didn’t puke that was sick though i swear before my uncle died of herwin he had a huge spider bite me and my boyfriend derrick are laughing at the guy the guys face is big we thought the same thing it was a tooth problem. i’m sick of that guy hes probably posted it to get attention OK so that’s what i think thank u so much if you agree with me.
i have been bitten by something it was this tiny black thing and its starting to hurt can anyone advise me what to do
It could be an allergic response to A spider bite, but most likely was parasite, either way not fun.
This is a staff infection (MRSA) I know from personal experience!
Is the guy that got bitten, okay now? I hope so.

It is a spider bite. Spider bites can cause MRSA. The long thing at the end of the video, that he was using tweezers on, was an egg sack. Spiders have become frighteningly dangerous, more toxic, and are evolving fast. I have long hair, and I’ve had them hide in my hair and then bite me on the scalp. The bite that I got on the scalp was exactly like the guys in the video, and it took months to heal. Of course, Dr.s and medical staff INSISTED that I was a “dirty” person and that it was an infection, when in fact, I knew better. I’m not a dirty person, and I saw the spider that bit me. Why are medical people so closed minded about these things? Finally last weekend, after years of arguing, a Dr. finally admitted/realized that a spider bite had caused a person to contract MRSA. I’ve known this to be the case for years, I’ve seen it happen, but Dr.s are just now seeing it.
SPIDERS DONOT LAY THERE EGG SACKS IN ANY ANIMAL OR HUMAN, THEY LAY THEM IN THEIR SPIDER WEBS…….

This is not a spider bite, this is a parasite that is found in tropical regions such as South America, Filippense etc. This video has been on Youtube for a while posted by the guy in the video how happen to be filippeno. I believe it to be the Botfly.
YOU R EXACTLY RIGHT, THIS WAS SOME KIND OF PARASITE AND HE WAS PULLIN OUT THA LARVA. ONLY INSECTS (example: Flies) THAT LAY THEIR EGGS THAT TURN TO PARASITES (like maggots) CAN LAY THEIR EGGS IN ANIMALS AND HUMANS
i don’t think it’s a spider bit at all, i think it’s a boil, i have a couple of friends that get them and they get just as big and they squeeze the same stuff out from the boil. spiders are venomous and i don’t think that their venom has bacteria in it, but i could be wrong.
hello, it’s called drawing salve, it comes in a orange thin tin and it works i had a brown recluse spider bite on my are and i put it on and cleaned it every three hours for five days and it took the venom out but i still had to go get the sack taken out that the spider laid in my arm. it was gross, i would never leave anything that big or anything small unattended without going to go see a doctor or physician. obviously this guy is very ballsy and kinda dumb if you ask me. just not educated!
The man should have been to the er room days ago, don’t ever squeeze it spreads the infection. For fiddleback or Brown recluse spider bites there is a treatment, its a anti-venom healing balm, its a powerful synergistic mixture of special natural magnetic mineral and oil designed to inactivate poisons,fight infection and regenerate the dead necrotic tissue. I read it on the internet after I got bit on the leg. doc says to take antibiotic and put heat packs on 3-times a day. check out Ascended Health’s Brown recluse spider bite treatment. also good for snake,sunburns,other spiders,tic’s,anything that bites.
this was like kinda nasty but i got a question that string you was pulling at was that eggs in it cause i was trying to think what it was but i hope it gets better though. good luck!
this is the worse video i have ever seen oh am gosh i cant believe you got bit by some type of spider what kind of spider did you get bit of that was real nasty.
can he climb walls now?
With no doubt this is staph infection. I have staph on my chin and this is the second time I have gotten it. I’ve been on antibiotics (bactrim) for 3 days now. I have squeezed all that I can out. Once You get the core out. It heals up pretty quickly
This will not heal without taking an antibiotic.once you get staph it will always come back. I’ve had it 4 times in 2 years. So most likely what You guys are experiencing is mrsa staph. (Cellulitis)
This is definitely what I’ve been bitten by. I just squeezed the same oozing puss out of a very solid red painful swollen bite. I have Yellow Sac Spiders throughout my home. I know what they are because I’ve had them for years and have looked them up. I was curious about their funny clear color. I’d always hoped nobody would get bit. I’m just glad it was me and not the kids. Unfortunately, rather than accidentally rolling over on one in bed, or finding one in my clothes, I learned rather painfully that they like to hide in the toilet paper roll! YUCK, and OUCH! I feel like I’ve just given birth and cannot walk!
I had millions of bites that this 1 is the most disgusting 1 and the most disturbing.
I was like @ age 6 then when i seen a 3 year old girl tat got bit by a spider she fell & banged her head on a piece of wood.
So i hope your ok
Ok so it was not as bad as I thought. I’ve seen some sick stuff in my life. I grew up on a farm, so yeah that video was not so bad. I have been bitten by many different kinds of spiders. I used to study them but I had a brush with death because of a black widow. I decided to do something less life threatening so i fight fires.
I agree with Mr. Ortley. I am not an MD or PhD, but I have seen a recluse bite. It looked nothing like the video. The person who was bitten was someone I worked with at the time, and after the redness, heat and hardness around the bite, the skin and underlying tissue began to die. He was left with a hole over his stomach about the size of a silver dollar, and required surgery to close the hole.
And yes, that video is disgusting!!
i am highly allergic to spider bites. i experienced the first one when i was about 6 and my whole face blew up and it was extremely painful. i am now thirty and since then, in just the last few years especially, i have had numerous spider bites that have caused me a great deal of crippling pain. i have never seen the spider actually bite me so i could to tell you which type of spider causes these reactions but i have developed a severe phobia of spiders as a result of them.
they are almost indistinguishable from a boil so make sure you have it properly diagnosed before you proceed in ANY kind of self treatment and NEVER try to force it out or squeeze it because you will only make an extremely painful situation worse and a practically debilitating issue, depending on the location. make sure you seek medical attention after about 5 days or if it is so painful that you cannot perform typical functions. good luck to all of you who have to deal with this and i hope you never have to deal with anything close to some of the ones i have had to deal with.
*side note: if you find that this is the reaction you have every time a spider bites you talk to your doctor about getting an eppi-pen to have at the first sign of a problem. you may be able to avoid painful swollen sores if caught in time.
i looked this up to because i have a spider bite on my eye but fortunately it doesn’t look like this. i feel really bad for him
hello, great website and video. i have a website about insects. i want to add a comments page similar to yours. what software did you use?
I’ve NEVER seen anything so disgusting in my life! Poor guy. I hope he’s OK and can afford a plastic surgeon because he’s going to need one!
I started a antibiotic.14 hours after spider bite.thank god because I only had a small portion of that come out my bite. I thought it was a mosquito bite 8 pm at night the next day after shower at 4 my leg blew up and swelled ankle and up to my knee, ankle looked like it had water in it.Started meds. at 1:30 that day. it is now 6 days later.still hard time walking muscle in leg just aches hard to walk. 1 1/2 days ago leg swelling went down. 3 1/2 days after bite , I got a big red spot blue purple whatever then the day after got that kinda white head look.. Now I have a big spot on my leg like a sore and bruise about 1 inch wide and 1 inch long. With real hard spot that is under skin.Going to doctor tomorrow again to make sure it is healing right.. There was no evidence of bite just a tiny needle whole where it started…… Then it showed that circle 3 days later… This just sucks will update tomorrow, and try to get a pic.
Hello,
My name is Yasmin. i recently was taking weeds out from my garden and i don’t know whether it was a spider bite or a thorn. it was about 15 days ago and after about 1-2 hours my hand got swollen and i had lots of pain. It continued like this for about 2 days, then it went away but the finger with pain and the two fingers that followed were numbed. Little by little it went off,about nine days after it was gone completely, then after 4 days the pain got back but it was even worse, now if I touch it burns.And now the pain still remains there but i don’t even know what bit me. I would like to know what you would recommend to do.
Please, and Thank You

I believe what this is to me is a boil.I had one on my butt chick, elbow, inner thigh.the one on my butt chick was the size of a softball,thats how big around it was,It came out,just the same way and was very painful. just think about what it would feel like to take a hot poker to the chick.Could not sit on it at all. Though I’m not saying it isn’t what you are saying it is.I just know that my elbow was so bad,that i had a poppeye looking arm from elbow to figure tip.I waited to long to get it looked at,doctors won’t look at you without a head on it.they won’t cut it open.unless head on it. the one on my elbow it thought would just go away but didn’t because i waited to long thinking it would go away,but it didn’t,So i went to the hospital and they knifed it,only after having 4 shots of pain killer and that didn’t even make the pain go away.I will say though that after they cut it my elbow felt good.a bunch of white and dead nasty stuff came out of my elbow.
It looked just like that,boils hurt and it sucked.
but if there is people on here that think they have a spider bite think about it being a boil.because if you have one it will be painful.
i have a red & swollen spot i didn’t feel a bite and it isn’t a open wound it has been like a day in a half it has only swollen up it was at first the size of big zit and it has only gotten bigger now its bigger then a quarter it is very painful and its like a zit on top of a swollen spot. i was wondering is there any thing i can do beside go to the hospital however i did see a baby spider on me it was almost clear any as small as a pin head. i would greatly appreciate a email back just so i know what to expect..thank you.
This is not a spider bite, this is a parasite that is found in tropical regions such as South America, Filippense etc. This video has been on Youtube for a while posted by the guy in the video how happen to be filippeno. I believe it to be the Botfly.
i was bitten by a possible red back spider 4 years ago it had bitten me three times i got so sick that i couldn’t look after the baby now and still gets itchy and burns. come up with a rash then little green blisters appear i have it 4 a couple of weeks then gos 4 a couple of moths it has a large lump under it and i get pain in mussel in the back of my leg could you tell me what may of dun it and how i can make it go for good?

to tell everyone the trust honestly this look like it is staff infection caused by the spider bite. I had staff infection from a bug bite and it was this size but on my thigh. I ended up going to the hospital because of the pain and they had to cut it open instead of spreading the infection by “popping it” like a pimple.
I googled “wood spider bites” when this video came up, and have no doubt that’s what this is.
My cousin got bit by a wood spider on just above her buttocks several years ago, and that’s what it ended up looking like. It had become so swollen and the skin so taught, that it ended up finally bursting on its own. I remember b/c she, my sister and I were all sitting together and she reached around and said her “ass felt wet” she and my sis went into the bathroom and it was oozing white/yellow pus and as my sister squeezed to help it along she had the long white “worm” masses coming out as well that she needed to pull on (except she had a glove on and was also using paper towels, not tweezers). Towards the “end” of it all there were small black chunks coming out as well (I’m assuming this had to have been dead tissue). It got to the severity seen in the vid in under 48 hrs and was like that for about 2 weeks before it broke open.
wow that was disturbing but yet i couldn’t look away, but you must get this a lot but why didn’t he go to the hospital and are you sure that a brown recluse spider bite cause i have seen 4 or 5 of those around my house an didn’t think much of it because i had never gotten bitten before and now that i did i see that though little things sure pack a punch.
Ha I watched this while eating dinner, didn’t bother me none, then again I’m not normal.
the best cure for pitts a spider bite in west India is to take a cloth and cover the wound and then simple wash it out with water and place the wound with water and mouth spit.
I believe it was a bite. My friend gets a similar reaction (but on a much smaller scale) from regular spiders…pus and all that does come out of such holes. This video makes me want to throw up.
Wow!Ariel!Your alot like me.I wasnt really grossed out that much.Only a tad when the string came out of his cheek…
Other than that,it was great.Teaching others the aftermath of a spiderbite isnt that great to be dealing with..
This would be terrible to happen to me.And i would really dislike it.
I was just curious about it.Also,what spider was it that bit you?
I don’t think that’s very safe to do yourself, you could spread the infection.
Awesome footage!
That is not even closely most gross thing I have ever seen…:D
That was not good and I did not like it and will not watch it again and if I see that again never because I hate it will never watch it…
This guy must have been miserable. The pain and discomfort as well as it being on his face..
Seriously could someone PLEASE tell us what the outcome of this unfortunate fellows medical emergency was? Is he alright?
i did not want to leave a comment when i first started watchin that….but now i had to that is the most nastyest thing i have ever seen in my hole life i fill so bad fo that guy…when he waz doin that my face stared to hurt when he waz sweezin tat sturr out of his face…
Oh my goodness! This video has my head spinning, it was really gross.
OMG…That was serious! When I was 15 which was 21 years ago I was bitten by a spider on my chin. When I woke up my whole jaw was swollen and the site of the bite was red and the size of a golf ball. It was full of this hard white substance but never drained like that. My mom took me to the hospital and I was given antibiotics. Had to take 4 a day for 10 days and soak my chin in the hottest water I could stand.The only thing we should have done is brought the thing with us because he was bold enough to stick around and was a weird bright green in color!? but my brothers killed him
I had to eat baby food until the swelling went down because I couldn’t open my mouth. I hope he went to the Dr. for something cause that was nasty! Good thing I have a strong stomach…lol… I hate spiders too, he left a nasty scar on my chin that is still here 21 years later
It looks like you were biten by a brown recluse spider. That was pus coming out and it looked like you were also pulling the “sack” out of the wound. A sack like formation often surrounds the internal area as a means of some sort of “protection”. Hope you sought medical treatment because the next step could be the deterioration of the skin around the wound site and even with treatment (removing the dead skin) it can lead to bad scarring. Great video but, hope you are okay now Jim.
i have some sort of bite on my left thigh. it is raised bump about the size of a quarter and hard as a rock. there is also a red tendr area around it that is about 3″ in diameter. can someone tell me what this is and if it needs medical attention. btw i am 14 yrs old.
I totally agree with #16 Andy.
I think I’ve been getting some spider bites (thought they were bed bugs but only a bite here, a bite there) and googleing to find some info. and came upon this video. This ranks up there with the top 3 disgusting videos of all time. Spider bite or not he should have gone to the doctor’s so that it could be drained properly. I had one of my tonsils swollen up so badly a couple of years ago that twice I had to go to the hospital to get it drained from a needle and a small incision and that’s what this guy should have done.
i got bitten once on the arm it hurt so much it was the nastiest thing i had seen a spider bite look well the bad thing is a month later i got bite again on the neck it was worst then the arm it look so gross i went too the doctor and he said the spider had laid eggs in it i liked too have passed out.
but it was the worst pain i have ever had the grosses stuff came out of it it was pockets of white stuff there was a lot of it long streams of it came out then a really big pack of it came out it had a really bad smell i know one thing i don’t ever want too ever have another spider bite again
IDK thinks this is a brown recluse bite but it wasn’t it was more like a house spider or a wood spider or a wolf spider if he was bit in the states
It’s obvious this is not a spider bite, a boil that was left untreated.
This video brought back some bad memories. My best friend had the same thing happen to her on her beautiful face. She went to the hospital they accused her of doing drugs and sent her on her way with only a IV sad to say three days later the swelling on her face was the size of a tennis ball, and it was nasty even nastier to go out to eat with her I was afraid it was gonna pop any second and hit me and my grub. I was finally able to get her to agree to let me squeeze it and man we hand to hold her down and take turns. In the end it was nasty what came out of her face was well the best way to describe it was it looked like nasty KFC chicken fat.
This is in response to # 65, Dr. Ortley,
You are correct in identifying the bite/wound site from the brown recluse spider. You may be mistaken in the locations where these spiders are found. Yes, they are found largely in the southern United State, but that is not the only place. My father was the first documented case of brown recluse bite in CO in 1969. Yes, the necrosis happened quickly, bit on Sat., had a hole the size of a dime by Monday morning. He had his leg amputated in ’77 and contracted a ‘mirror’ ulcer (not uncommon) on the opposite leg which was amputated in ’86. We are aware of several other folks being bitten in the general area we lived in the early 1970′s and ’80′s as well.
The pus like fluid in this video is exactly like whats coming out of my 2 year son’s spider bite. It started happening after he started taking antibiotics. I’ve been watching it very closely and cleaning it often with peroxide and antibiotic spray. Hopefully it will subside soon because he’s in great pain but no fever so far.
OMG!! That video was disgusting, i did not puke but sill that yellow stuff was pretty nasty, don’t you think. i have never bin bit by a spider, but if i ever do get by a spider anytime i will totally contact or tell you guys.
THX!!!!
after reading d comments i did not dare 2 watch d video!:P
OK FOR GOODNESS SAKE DOES IT MATTER WHETHER THE SPIDER DID BITE AND CAUSE THE INFECTION, to all you know it all it COULD have been a spider bite or it COULD be a boil. We thought my husband was bit when he was moving a couch but it could have been a staple either way the Nurse at the ER (HELLO) You know swelling,redness,pain!!! ER!! She knew IMMEDIATELY that it was MRSA infection. BAD BAD BAD NEWS PEOPLE he was stuck or bit (who cares) same outcome! at around 12 noon and by 2 am he was saying take me to the ER. THIS man is a Vietnam Vet who HATES Hospitals with a vengeance and he knew to go to the ER.LOTS of antibiotics and he was ok. This crap kills people and is now one of the most prevalent skin infections! DON’t TAKE CHANCES AND will ANYBODY find out is this person still alive??????
Thats nasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY VERY GROSS
I can understand showing the bite for educational purposes, but I don’t understand the point of showing a close-up of the guy squeezing the gunk out of it. That really didn’t tell me anything other than the obvious: a bite that swollen is obviously going to be filled with something. And this guy’s dumb for doing this instead of going to a doctor. Some information on what kind of spider the bite was from, when & where he got it, the symptoms that came with it, etc would have been more interesting and useful than over 4 minutes of pus and blood.
I was bitten by a yellow sac which is very closely related to a brown recluse, the bites being so close in appearance and characteristic that a brown recluse bite is often misdiagnosed. Often the culprit is the yellow sac.
I can tell you that this does NOT look anything like the bite I had. I do not think it is a recluse bite. I think it is a bloody bad abscess.
While watching that I kept saying “why are you doing this and not at the DOCTORS”? This guy risked a systemic infection by doing this.
Well, that was great !! loved it …. Hubby was grossed out ( typical male ) , But my mother and I loved it … wished we could squeeze it . She thought it was a boil immediately , as do others , who knows . Im just looking up spider bites as a friend was biten on forehead and is swelling up … if it turns into this , you can be sure I’ll be onhand to squeeze the stuff out of it for him !!!!
I think that spider bite video is sssssoooooooooo disgusting! I hope he’s OK. He looks like he is pucking from another side and it seeping from his cheek!
that’s gross and the doctors need to do something about if they haven’t yet and i also think that you need to wear some gloves?
OMG! that spider bite video was aweful! i got bit, and wouldn’t touch it, let alone pop it like a zit! at first i thought that was pus, but What was he pulling out with the tweezers???!!!
i am a scardy cat of spiders ….. but that spider bite scary
wooooooow it looked like more of a stalf infection gone completely wrong ooooo shock isnt the word disgusted mostly ima watch it again lol

Hello every one my name is doctor martin,I grew in the red woods of cali where bits like this are common.This could acturelly be a staf infection or a bite that has grown into a type of staff infection. wich is common for bites to do the bite itself gets infected from the poision in the spider known as vinum.
The vinum is what kills the skin as well as white blood cells wich clean out infections, causeing a staff infection wich is known as dead blood cells white ones to be exact wich die from the poision wich causes the skin to die too.so if you notice any infection in the skin and are not sure if its a bite or staff infection get attention to discover what is causeing it the cause of a infection weather a bite or staff can only realy be determined by a skin or blood test unless you know for sure you have been bitten and do not try to get rid of such a thing youreself the risk of spreading the poision is too high of a rist to take and a infection like this is way too dangerous!
GET HELP IT COULD REALY KILL YOU OVER TIME AND I HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN. ITS NOT THE BITE ITSELF BUT THE INFECTION THAT HAS SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE BODY AND INCASE YOU ARE WOUNDERING WHAT KIND OF DOCTOR I AM, IM A MORGTITION! THATS RITE I STUDY DEAD PEOPLE!
I agree with a few others on here that it is not a Spider bite, in fact from the location along his lower jaw I’m pretty sure that it is whats know as an Abscessed Tooth that has gotten to the point that it has come to a head, if you do a search using Abscessed Tooth you will see the same types of pus filled infections, they usually are located near impacted wisdom teeth.
Yeah thats weird it didnt gross me out either.im like ariel it fascinated me i guess i dont have a weak stomach i just cant believe a spider caused that im mean you think this is gross watch an abscess being poped and no that didnt bother me either. lol but i dont feel sorry for this guy that must have hurt.
I have a bite in the exact same spot as this unfortunate young man and after three days of throbbing, intermittent, pain, I’m going to urgent care tonight. The area is hard, red, hot, about the size of a half-dollar coin, but has oozed only a small bit of pus. I also have a small bite under my arm, which looks exactly like the “bite under arm” picture featured on your website. However, two summers ago I had to squeeze a similar bite in an area I would rather not mention, and about half the amount of pus as the video came out. We were building a deck on a hill and I was working under the deck, in alot of dirt. Absolutely the worse pain I’ve ever felt – way worse than labor and delivery!
First of all this clip is very Educational I dont find it disturbing at all.But what I do find Disturbing are the people on here that have CHILDREN that had been bit by something in the past or present and are talking about how you took care of it on your own in stead of taking your child to the HOSPITAL and the other ones that are asking what they should do.HELLO seek MEDICAL ATTENTION!!!
These are Children you are talking about I cant belive you are asking what you should do.I can tell you what you should not have done you should not have had children if you dont know what you should do.
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!
Love this video. It’s like popping a really good zit.
This video was one of the most disgusting things I have ever saw…yet,…I found it oddly entertaining!
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……
what happened to the guy after that! just wondering. that was just gross.
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.
Charlotte, NC
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.
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, …
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.
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!!!
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
that is really BAD
ewww! that is nasty!
Ummmm, there are these places called hospitals.
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
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 !
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”
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.
dude maybe u shulda got that looked at u kno. and oh ya what the heck kinda spider did this?
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!
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?!
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!
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.
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?
Ahhhhhhhh what in the world! That is crazy did it hurt?
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
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.

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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
well I not like spiders they’re legs gross me out the way they move!
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?
This is the craziest bite I’ve ever seen!!!!! the grossest part was when he used the tweezers!
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.
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
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 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!

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
ehhh gross! That dude is so retarded to do that to a bite, Cory was right!
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).
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.
AHHHHHHHHH *pukes* ohhhhhh thats gross *pukes again* ohhhhhh
Why doesn’t he go to the doctor instead of doing it at his own washroom?
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…
I watched this while i was eating a drumstick icecream and it didn’t gross me out at all =D
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?
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.
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!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.Nasty but you cant help but laugh
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?
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.
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?
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
I can’t emphasize how gross that video was!! It made me throw up!
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 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.
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!
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.
Ok, now that was a nasty video, but i love spiders and i want to see one more better, ok? I just love spiders!
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!!!
