Soak a pad with witch hazel,(available at any drug store) and spinkle with epsom salt. tape on the sting and keep re-wetting, and sting goes away in 24-48 hours.

my husband was bitten by a spider, I looked on this site to see if there was anything that I could do. I am currently trying the baking soda and water, and later if no results I will try the baking soda and salt. I am just a little worried about the burn of the salt…
wish me luck

I just tried the baking soda and salt mixure and it worked like a charm! The redness and swelling immediately went down and the salt and baking soda sucked out the liquid.

Baking soda and salt seemed to help a few bites. I have bitten twice, two different occasions. Both times I thought it was a skin blemish. I squeezed the zit and puss came out two points. I knew then it was a spider bite. Two different website: one suggested baking soda and the second suggested salt.
I mix the 2 together. My skin pulsated and when I removed the dry mix, it had pink and yellow color.
The bite site went from a swollen, warm bump to relief. I reapplied until all the hardness was gone. I still have a red mark where the fangs injected, but nothing noticeable. I hope this is a lost art and cures everyone with a spider bite. No promises.

My auntie says you can use garlic and salt to heal your spider bites. Saturate your bite with salt and leave on for about 20 minutes. Rinse off the salt and put a fresh garlic clove on overnight. Repeat the process for one week and your bite will be nearly gone. For her, all that was left was a small scab where the bite used to be.
