Spider Bite Video

Doctor cautions about spider bite video being too gross to watch.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 bitten by a spider on the face and records 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 inform those 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 the body’s inflammatory responses. The pocket of pus shown in this video contains a protein-rich fluid, liquor puris, and dead neutrophils (white blood cells), which are part of the body’s innate immune response.

Neutrophils move to the site of infection and engulf and kill bacteria. After it has killed a bacterium, the neutrophil dies and is what you see dripping out of the bite area.

Video may be Disturbing!

Again, this video of the spider bite may be disturbing!

Note: We removed this, just too disturbing. BUT, you can search for it here using the term Spider Bite Squeezed Pus.

    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.

  2. Julie says:

    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.

  3. Scottyb says:

    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.

  4. Mr N says:

    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.

  5. donna says:

    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.

  6. Heather Downer says:

    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.

    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).

  8. Anne says:

    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.

  9. Leigh says:

    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…

  10. Karin says:

    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?

  11. Aaron says:

    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.

  12. Marla says:

    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!

  13. Hilary says:

    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?

  14. Pat Frye, MD says:

    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.

  15. Jennifer says:

    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?

  16. Candice says:

    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?

  17. angela says:

    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

  18. Daniel says:

    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.

  19. BRANDY says:

    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!

  20. Pat Frye, MD says:

    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.

  21. jim says:

    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!!!

  22. Cindy says:

    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!

  23. gene says:

    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.

  24. Yvonne says:

    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!!!

  25. Diana D. says:

    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.

  26. Andy says:

    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.

  27. Tom says:

    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?

  28. Mindy says:

    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!!!

  29. Carol says:

    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 :-)

  30. daisy says:

    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.-

  31. TTreena says:

    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!!

  32. Mary jane says:

    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.

  33. morgan says:

    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.

  34. Joanna says:

    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!

  35. Joe H says:

    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!!

  36. Erin says:

    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 :)

  37. Braska says:

    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…….

  38. ariel says:

    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.

  39. nathan says:

    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?

    regards,
    nathan
