My 13 year old son has several spider bites! One is on his left leg.. Now he has a bite on his left middle finger!! The nurse at school circled where the redness was and said if it goes out of the circle go to the doctors.. When he got home is when he noticed another on his right heel on his foot… I am not sure what to do cause it’s 11pm and I have to get up for work at 4am. My first question is can or do I have time to wait and take him later tomorrow. And do you think he is in real danger? The nurse said it’s a wolf spider bite so I need advice Please!

i have studied wolf spiders for 45 years now. they do however leave a scar but it can be treated by a medication called Apso. the best thing to do is keep the bite moist and get help as soon as you can.ice and aspirin will keep swelling down (NOTE: Cleaning and dusting your house regularly does alot to prevent these creatures.) They are a beauty but you must understand, it is a spider.

Hey guys,
I live in South Carolina and recently saw a large spider a little smaller than my palm. I think it was a wolf spider, but I didn’t have time to take a picture- I was in shock, the thing was huge, brown, long-legged, and, well, scared me almost half to death. Last night I had a night mare about it- it came down in the doorway, not 3 feet away from me, and I woke up screaming, “OH MY GOSH!” Any advice on what KIND of spider and what to do about my fear of this giant arachnid?

Thanks for the info!

I noticed that you used the term “poisonous”- I’m going to guess that you meant venomous, because that is the proper term. Venom is injected (like with spiders) and poison is inhaled, swallowed, ect.

I live in a place with very few spiders- I’ve only ever seen up to three different kinds here, but I’m interested in arachnids-but not touching them.

shows some kind of trapdoor spider not a wolf. aside from just plain looking different a good diagnostic is that you can see two sets of book lungs. a wolf would only have one set of book lungs

whatever kind of trapdoor it is, the venom is not dangerous to humans and likely wouldn’t even amount to the pain of a bee sting. further, there is no known proclivity to trigger anaphylactic reactions

also, most of the bite pics i have seen on this site look like bacteria or other insect bites, NOT spider bites

ok so i am totally freaked out and i think these are wolf spiders in my house. we just moved in a month ago and ive kille dat least 20 of them.they are huge and im totally freaked out. so i called my father in law to come look at one because he is the cubscout leader and he is pretty smart about this stuff, he says there are over 200 kinds of wolf spiders and they can vary in size and color. some are very furry and some not.

i started looking on the net and saw several types. i also have at least three different kinds here in the house. they are always on the floor, never the wall and they are really fast when they try to get away. i hate them and im terrified of them, but the more and more i see of them the easier it is to just react and just kill them instead of freezing up and panicking.

i have pest control coming this week but now im scared because some of the comments were bad like the one that says pest control will attract brown recluse because they like their meals already dead? wtf ami to do? i have a 4 yr old and a two month old and now someone else said that the spider at the top of the page is a brown recluse, well that’s one of the kinds i have.

help!
