Home Remedies for Spider Bites

You probably didn’t know that nearly all the spiders you come in contact with are poisonous – a common feature that allows them to hunt their prey. However, the majority of spiders in the United States are harmless – too small to pose a threat to a human. Yet, if you live in a warm climate, you should keep an eye out for the black widow and brown recluse spiders, which pack quite a bite. Getting familiar with home remedies for spider bites couldn’t hurt either.

Spider Bite Symptoms and Facts

In the United States, the black widow and brown recluse spider pose the largest hazard to humans. The black widow (sometimes called the red-black spider) is shiny black with a red mark (in the shape of an hourglass) on its back. Since a black widow spider delivers a toxin that affects the nervous system, it is important to act fast. When bitten, the spider’s venom causes instantaneous pain, burning, swelling, and redness at the site. Double fang marks are sometimes visible [1].

Dwelling in the southeastern region of the U.S., the brown recluse is known for leaving behind large wounds, but is less likely to significantly injure a human victim. Measuring about 1-inch long, these spiders possess a violin-shaped mark on the back of their midsections. They often reside in closets, basements, and attics. While not an aggressive species, they will attack when trapped or pressed against the skin. A brown recluse spider bite causes burning, pain, itching, redness, deep blue or purple discoloring, rash, fever, nausea or vomiting.

Spider Bite Home Remedies

Even though most spiders do not possess strong enough venom, some people will suffer an allergic reaction, which includes redness, swelling, pain, itching, and symptoms that seem to worsen over a period of 24 hours. Severe reactions include hives, shortness of breath, wheezing, and weakness [2]. To minimize your reaction to a spider’s toxins and treat existing bites, consider the following home remedies:

a) Cold Water and Ice:

Reduce swelling and provide spider bite relief by applying an ice pack or cold, wet washcloth to the skin.

b) Baking Soda:

Mix 3 parts baking soda with 1 part water to create a paste to speed up the healing process of a spider bite. Depending on the severity of your bite, you will see changes within a couple of days.

c) WD-40:

Prevent a reoccurrence of spider bites that take place in the home by spraying your windowsills, door frames, and screens with WD-40 in an attempt to keep these insects out of your household [3].

d) Elevation:

If a spider has bitten you in the arm or leg, it is suggested to elevate the site to prevent swelling.

e) Hydrocortisone 1% Cream:

Treat itching and redness of a spider bite by applying hydrocortisone cream (1%). Calamine lotion makes an effective substitute.

f) Hydrogen Peroxide:

Since washing a spider bite site will help disinfect, choose hydrogen peroxide as an effective antiseptic for insect bites.

g) Dried Basil:

To ease the itch of a spider bite, take a pinch of crushed basil and rub on your bite until the basil turns into the consistency of fine sand. This home remedy will also help keep the swelling down.

h) Turmeric and Olive Oil:

Mix turmeric and olive oil to make a paste that treats the swelling and redness of a spider bite. Over the course of seven days, apply to your bite to help release some of the toxins. The combination also makes a decent pain reliever. Repeat the treatment at least two to three times throughout the week.

i) Aspirin:

To gain relief from a spider bite, it is necessary to neutralize some of the poison. Soak an aspirin tablet in a little bit of water until it creates a paste. Apply to your spider bite to alleviate itching. For some people, symptoms are relieved within ½ hour.

j) Antibiotic Lotion or Cream:

Fight infection (especially in children) by applying an antibiotic lotion or cream to a spider bite.

Apparently got bit yesterday…on thumb. First the area was red – then today the area has expanded and turned black and blue? Also experiencing some numbness of my thumb?!?!? Immediate reaction yesterday was to make a paste of B. soda and water – seemed to help. Also took some Benadryl for the Histamines. Today – I made an Epsom Salts paste and applied. Hope something works…thanks for the tips! Really good ideas in here.

Woke up and thought I had adult acne, like two little red pimples on my cheek.The next day it was hard and about the size of a silver dollar. The worst part of this is, the next morning the darn spider bit me AGAIN on the neck the size of a golf ball and below my ear. So my face is half numb and my neck is sore. Point being dont wait to long to get a spider bite check out by a doctor even if it cost you. My situation worsened every morning. Baking soda does work I believe for anything small like a pimple. Just be careful…

i got bit under my left arm pit two days ago by what i suspect was a black widow. i was fine at first and the bite was nothing more then an annoyance when my t-shirt rubbed against it. later that evening, i began having abdominal pains and muscle stiffness out of nowhere. when i took a shower, i inspected the bite and a white ring had developed around it with some bruising. it still didn’t hurt very much, but i more then certain that the unexplainable abdominal pain, muscle stiffness and general feeling of un-wellness were results of being bitten by that god damned spider. i just applied the baking soda / salt poultice. hopefully it does what it’s expected to. if my condition worsens, hello Emergency Room. i will bookmark this site and post my results in a few days. thanks for the info.

Thank you for the tip on the baking soda & salt! I tried some homemade insect relief given to me by a friend and that seemed to make it worse. However, the tip from this site has almost gotten rid of it in just under an hour (immediate relief)!! Thank you again & have a blessed day!

i got 1two spider bites one after the other healed and the one i have now seems to go down when i open it with a push pin and squeeze the pus out and put alcohol in it,

My dad was bite by a brown recluse spider and my mom took a egg shell that she had left over from breakfast and pulled the membrane out of the big end of the egg shell(looks like white skin) and placed it on the bite sight and let it dry. It will eventually peel off. They seen results within 10 minutes after it dried. It draws the venom out of the bite. The sight is now gone and he had no effects of the bite after the treatment. This can be used for any bites or stings.

I got bit by something on my left calf in the middle of the night. Thought it was just an ant bite or something. Within a day it begain to swell and puss. Was on antibiotics; since stopping them though I’ve noticed that a pulsating feeling in that area started to occur. Then that same pulsating started to move up my leg over the next week or so. My leg started to feel tight and weak. Spreading… it made its way to my chest (felt pressure), then eventualy went down in to my right leg. In short I know something is in me and I’ve been to at least 10 Dr’s in last 2 weeks, no one can seem to identify what’s the problem. Having a hard time walking, live in Nova Scotia Canada. Help!
michelle

About a wk ago I noticed a lump under my skin on the arch of my rt foot. I kind of payed no attention to it. I noticed it getting worse and painful. There is a dark spot on it. So finally I went to the dr she said brown recluse spider bite. She said soak in hot water. There’s no hole and it wont open up. Im on antibiotics now if it doesn’t open she will have to cut it. How do I get it to open on its own? Please help.

Michuli

You people are nuts. See a doctor asap and those who get bit in thier sleep. Consider stripping the bed it’s likely you are harboring vermin. Don’t leave shoes gloves or hats outside, spiders like to hide. Save the salt for the pasta and the baking soda for indigestion. Good luck
sam

hey guys i had a spider bite 2 days ago. And i applied the baking soda and the salt mixture but all in vain. Nothing happens but your your skin becomes more red.

About a couple days ago i went camping with my family. When i got back i noticed three large white bumps the size of a quarter on my knee cap! I don’t know why the spider would bit me on my knee cap three times. Anyway my cousin got bit on the head and a huge lump formed on the side of his head. It looked like a stub horn. When we went to make our beds when camping he lifted up the covers and then he saw black spider the size of a quarter. It ran away quickly and hid under the bed. That is my spider story.

So, a month or so ago, I found a small bump on the back of my thigh which I thought was a ingrown hair. Well a day or so later it swelled up to the size of a freaking soft ball (yuck) I began putting draw out salve (thick brown tar looking stuff) on it. Somebody in my office thought it could possibly be a boil. I went away almost immediately. That was then, this is now. A few days ago I woke up with what appeared to be a small bite on my thigh ( the other leg). It was painful. I immediatelt though boil again so I tried the salve. Of course it swelled up like crazy, not quite the size of a soft ball this time. I started to think it wasnt a boil and was leaning more towards spider bite. I googles images and what do you know, it looks just like some of the pictures I saw. I came acrossed this site so just a few minutes ago I concocted the salt/baking soda paste, but first applied pure tea tree oil to the affected area. Wish me luck. It is too hot to be hiding under jeans and I am tired of having band aid marks on my poor leg.

2 sugestions: Raw flax seed and aloe vera. enough to create a paste. cover the affected area for 20 minutes. rinse and repeat several times per day. it is said to pull the toxins out.

Also if you have a bite that has become abscessed, colloidal silver works if you force the silver into the wound.

I was bitten by a black widow and the bite began to look as if it were from a brown recluse. The doctor put me on several different antibiotics because I’m allergic to sulfa (High potency antibiotics contain this substance) after 5 days the bite had gone from the crease in my upper thigh to my knee. Within 24 hours of using the silver twice per day, it was half the size. The trick here is to use either a syringe (no needle) or the plunger that comes with the silver to force the substance into the wound.

I have done this for 3 days now and the abscess is almost gone. NO MORE antibiotics for me.

Hope this helps

belinda

As above, i was surfing in cool ocean water which also gave me great relief…hence, elevate, and cold pack and baking soda paste remedies all worked
Miss Jess

URGENT!!!!! Please,please,please before you self treat what you think may be a spider bite, go to a doctor, er, or urgent care. What I thought was a spider bite, very well may have started that way, but ended with me having MRSA! Not nice. If you get something that looks like a pimple or bite and it is burning. Get it looked at immediately!
Golden

I recommend calamine lotion or luke warm water with salt,
FIRST clean with anti bacterial soap, or soak in warm salt water.
Then dry area. apply calamine lotion to spider bite AND LET DRY ONTO BITE.
Do for a few days morning and night, it should go away. if not see your doctor for antibiotics….

Question: I got bitten by a considered harmless spider on my toe and it left one small fang mark. It started to swell and it stopped whithin a week. But today my toe is starting to swell again can someone tell me whats going on!?!
Rena

On Aug. 1st, an insect bit me 2x; my r lower leg (near ankle) & on my the right side of my face above my jaw, near my ear lobe. Today is Aug 27th and my leg is still bruised and feels it and my face still feels very sore and burns it felt orig. like I got punched in the face by a brick. Now it feels like I have been punched, no redness just internal soreness and muscle aches. Last week I found 2 black widows downstairs and just found another one (male this time) upstairs near me…:( looks like I need a bomb or somthing. I am posting this to help anyone as the medical Dr’s seemed to know or care little about black widow bites unless you had a flesh eating disease.
(I was also bit last year 2x but on my tummy and my leg or arm…was fatigued and short winded but nothing like this round. Did have the 2 pricks of scared blood visually last year. This year there were 2 small marks but no blood visibly scarred on my face.)

Note: Hydrocordisone DID NOT HELP this at all.
I tried it and it did appear to make it worse.

SYMPTOMS:
*extreme fatigue
*night sweat
*kind of short winded or out of breath feeling.
*extreme burning and throbing that radiated up the right side of my face, down my neck,up behind my ear on to my head.
*Redness and swelling on site of bite spread largely. Itching and hives continued in the area intermittently for 3 weeks approx. Still itches at times.
*Sometimes it would get red and slightly blue-ish behind my ear also. *Allergies worsened majorly nose adenoids became really swollen
*Swollen lymph nodes especially right side.
One near my ear/neck was the size of a large grape!
*Hard time sleeping due to pain (which wasn’t well for my mental/emotional state)
*Neck and or front throat stiffness rigidness, head and neck pain in general.
*Nervousness/worried
*Any stress made the pain excrutiating and unbearable
*My blood pressure was higher than normal even a few weeks later of the bite at my dr’s appointments.
*Some heart palpitations as if I had been running.
*PAIN & burning…If I had to describe it, it felt like something was eating away at my muscles internally on the right side of my face/neck/head area. It would even radiate to my right side of my collar bone, shoulder and mide scapula area.
*Some hand zinging sensations down my r hand and weakness also was present.
*General weakness.
*There were no skin lesions or flesh eating disease present.

TREATMENT:
*Besides the Cleocin (antibiotic they gave me diagnosing me as having strep or a staff infection) was REST, rest and more REST.
*Drink alkaline water or just more water in general.
*Himalayan Sea Salt baths helped.
*Seeing a Natural Holisitic Dr. in the Denver area (Deb Zepf she is wonderful!)who made some oils and gave me some drops to cleanse me and draw some of the venom out which has also helped. She also had me do an IONIC CLEANSE which did seem to help with the neck tightness and felt better immediately.
*For my allergies/hives/craziness: Hydroxizine helped only 12.5mg a night. Perscribed by my allergist. It helped relax the muscles in my neck, in my throat and helped with hives on my r side of the bite area and with anxiousness.
*Benadryl (before the Hydroxizine which is similar to benadryl the benadryl would help a lot I found out on Aug 5th)
*Allegra (which I take daily but any anti-histamine would help esp. those who suffer with allergies/asthma)
*Of course my saline nasal rinses helped now with the adenoid swelling and Rhinaris (salt spray)
*I event tried chewing a garlic clove untill I couldnt take it then swollowed it.
*Oregano oil; few drops in water.
*Probitoics from Nutri-West (Dr. Jeffrey Parker who is also wonderful!) to help with antibiotic side effects on tummy and in general.

I will be getting more Ionic cleanses to draw out the impurities and will be taking more sea salt baths, (epsom salt will suffice) as I feel I feel like there is still some venom in me it feels bruised when I touch it, and I don’t like it at all. I’m very sensitive and It’s still there. I wonder if I need another round of antibiotics but they Holistic Dr.’s oils feel great the oil is put on the bites and have some healing & soothing properties.
Finally my immune system is now responding better…I’m getting my energy back slowly and my sanity also.
I am moving soon and will be bombing the house and if there are any other recommendations on how to not bring them with me to my new place. Please advise!
Thanks for reading and advising~

I forgot 2 symptoms that were dominant early on after the insect bite in the 1st 2 weeks.

*Abdominal pain which the dr’s wrote off as GERD…WRONG! The antacids made my tummy worse and sick.
*Quizy/light headed feeling at times.

My dog, has a big spider bite on his leg, i thought it was a hot spot, and then i really looked at it and its about an inch wide and it is open… soaked it in peroxide the best i could.. and i put some antibacterial cream on it, but im going to try the baking soda and salt idea.. i cant afford to go to the vet! so here goes nothing! ill keep you guys posted.

I got bit about 4 years ago by a spider not sure if a hobo or brown recluse. Started by looking like an ingrown hair that turned into open oozing wounds. Tried the peroxide, neosporin and keeping it covered. Went to the ER about a week later and the doctors put me on the strongest antibiotic on the market. That night I talked to my mum and she said use a mixture of 1/2 white distilled vinegar 1/2 water heated up for at least 3 minutes in the microwave. Use a face cloth and keep it on the wound for at least 10 minutes. Keep the face cloth hot. Do this 3 times a day for 10 minutes each time. I did this the night I got home for the ER. The next morning the wounds had started drying up and were filled with puss. I showered and did the vinegar/water again. Mind you I had at least 8-10 open sores at this time. Within 3 days they started healing up and I have absolutely no scars. I have used the vinegar/water for and abscessed tooth also. My daughter just got bit by a spider and we just started the same treatment on her. Vinegar/water will pull the poison out of the wound. Works well and is very cheap.
Bri

This is not necessarily a tip but a cry for help. My daughter has a second spider bite on her wrist. the first one I found on her right wrist and rushed her to the doctors because I did not know what had happen to find out it was a spider bite. I did not see the spider so we did not know what to treat for so her doctor gave me antibiotics and cream. Now today I found the same bite on her left wrist. Being that my daughter is only 17 months and I do not want her to keep going on antibiotics can someone please tell me what really has been working for home remedies? I just did the salt and garlic clove remedy and will take a look at the bite in the morning and she what has happen so far. One main question though is, is it best to pop the bump like blister on her wrist that has formed before I did the remedy or let it be and continue the remedy? Please help!!!!!

Not so much a tip but just wanted to say that I feel that this year has been the worst for spider bites in my area. I have never been bitten by spiders before, but this year I have been bitten multiple times. The first was around 4th of July weekend. the bite started out like a pimple and then got bigger over night. It was on my arm about 3-4 inches from my arm pit and close to my chest so as it got larger and infected it hurt like crazy because it was in a spot that it rub against everything. It did swell a bit like a very large pimple on top of a pancake of redness. I did find that placing an ice/cold pack on the infected area helped ease the pain. But it took over a week for it to heal once it came to a head and bleed and puss came out of it. Gross I know but once it did that it felt a 100% better–its also best to let it do it than to force it because it can be way to painful to force it.

When I had that bite I also had about a dozen or so other bites down my left side and on my stomach but those never got like the one on my arm did. Now about 3 months later it looks like I got bitten again on my stomach. I have a small cluster of bites on my side but they were very quick to bleed and have puss in them but they have healed up and are not bothersome. The one that looked just like a pimple got infected yet again and hurts like the dickens and its on my lower stomach just above where my pants are. it has started very much like the one on my arm. I have a band aid on it with some first-aid cream on it. It helps but still very tender to the touch. It has bleed a little but I don’t think the puss is out of it yet. I will be trying the baking soda and salt mixture when I get home with an ice pack. I would really like for this to be done and over with before I leave on vacation next week. Good luck everyone. And thanks to those who have posted these remedies.

i believe i have been bit by a spider but it is still bleeding i have put baking soda and water on the site it does help i wonder why no one has mentioned these bits bleed?

I’ve been bitten by spiders several times. A year or two ago, it was a brown recluse and I went to see my physician about it.

Recently I was bitten in several places, most of them small but one large bite that didn’t want to go away all by itself. Then I decided to begin a treatment regimen. I’m in my third week after being bitten and it’s almost gone.

Whenever I get any kind of infection, my treatment of first choice is Daikin’s Solution. I keep a large bottle available at all times. The bottle should not let any sunshine in as sunshine kills the bleach in just a few days. I’ve been using it for over 40 years. I learned about it when I was a corpsman in the Navy. It kills all (most) bacteria and fungii. I make a 12.5% Daikin’s Solution by mixing one part bleach to seven parts and adding a pinch of baking soda. Just rub it on the infected areas a few times per day or soak a pad in it and tape it on the infected area. The bleach destroys the proteins in the bacteria. You can read about this process in Science Daily article at this web page:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/11/081113140314.htm

Recently there has been a new discovery of a process that can be used to kill a bacteria and fungii on fruit. It was discovered by a researcher at USDA and people have begun using it on their bodies. Here it is.

Begin with a teaspoon (the kind you would use at your table) of vinegar. I use white vinegar because it’s the cheapest. Save your good vinegar for salads. Put the top of your index finger in the vinegar and then rub it on the infected area until it is almost absorbed entirely into the infected area. Continue until the vinegar is all used up. Now repeat this process with peroxide.

Do this several times a day. The vinegar should kill the protein. The peroxide will kill any bacteria. Any time you can squeeze the infected area and get something out of it, you should. This stuff is probably poison and you want to get this out of your body and let it go home…..or into the waste basket. You should squeeze it until you get red blood because the red blood has white blood cells, the body’s own defense against nasty things. I used this once on my large spider bite and it’s almost gone. I do it again this evening.

Good luck.

I was cutting down some evergreen trees monday and taking off the small branches, the inside of the trees were full of dead leaves and
small branches, I put my arm in and something bit me, I pulled it out and I saw a spider running away, after about 6 hours the bite swelled very badley, it swelled so much the area became rock hard and red, not wanting to use the doctors here, who generally a waste of space, I treated the bite my self, the first thing is to keep the bite clean, after a while the bite will infect and puss will leak from the area of the swelling, I washed this every 6 hours in detol and put pressure on the sides of the bite to extract puss and fluid, I applied anti-septic balm every 8 hours this helped with the iching and the swelling,during the day I made a cover for the bite with a small square of badage and sticky plaster.

I kept it covered after applying some Zam Buk ointment to the bite, the bandage drew out the puss and the Zam Buk has kept the bite area clean and free from serious infection, it has now been 5 day’s sine the bite, it has made me feel sick and iched like mad, but it has finally started to get better and much of the puss and swelling has resolved, spider bites do leak a
lot of puss and fluid, but I think this is a good sign, I think the most important thing is keep bite clean, I think it will leave a scar but the most important thin is it has got better although now past midnight it has taken now 6 day’s, will take another 4 to heal completely, I hope my experience may help anyone else who gets bitten, problably best to keep arms and hands covered and protected when working in garden to save on this nasty experience, my first spider bitbite todate, hope it will be my last.

ITS COINCIDENTAL but I learned after my mother got bit by a spider what to do. Okay this is what happened:

I think I had gotten bit because I did not shake one of my shirts out I was in a huge rush so yeah.

A few days later my right side started hurting extremely bad. I noticed I was itching. I thought it might have been me breaking out again but it wasn’t so the skin creams my dermatology gave me that was for my face and neck did not work.

I turned to using vinegar (i thought it might work because it worked well with some of my chicken pox scars). Vinegar did not work so I turned to Rubbing Alcohol. That didn’t work either. I even tried what everybody else was suggesting. The baking soda. That did a little justice but when I got ready to wipe it off it kept ripping my skin and that is so…fricken…painful.

So the core of the bite got bigger and bigger and I was getting worse. I was hot and cold at night. I was irritable. Couldn’t sleep for sugar honey iced tea. Then I became nauseous but for some odd reason I can’t throw up.

Solution I used:
My mother had left over gel from when she had got bitten about a month ago. She used that on me and boy did that sting. It still does sting (I’m still recovering) but not as bad as it did the first day the core grew big.
Anyway she went out and bought me these bandaids they did some good.
Yesterday she brought me the thing that did the most magic of all:

“BANDAIDS WITH ANTIBIOTIC IN THEM” <<<GET THESE.Why? because they will reopen the bite and draw out the poison. After that you might have to keep changing the bandages because it'll be oozing out so fast. Get it out. Do NOT wait. Get it out as much as you can before you go to bed. I suggest buying the Big Antibiotic Bandaids because they hold up for a few hours to a day.

You have to wear gloves and keep alot of tissue around you because you never know when the bandage will bust open. What you are looking for to come out of the bite is a mixture of yellow puss and your blood. It is a painful process. You might have a headache while doing this. Because honestly… I still do. Lol I have tooken nonstop Tylenol since 12. I accidentally took another one at 4. I've come to the conclusion that my headache will not go away until after I get this poison out.

Good luck to anyone!

I am Age:20 by the way.

To help it you could also use calmine lotion or benadryl what ever is possible….

Hi. My co-worker/friend came to work with a suppose spider bite on her elbow. You can see where the spiders bit her, and its like really red. There’s no swelling thou and she says its really irrated and itchy. We sprayed it with some itching spray and that help. But shes gonna try to put some Arm and Hammer toothpaste on it when she gets home. Hopefully it works ^_^
