brown recluse spider bite(pic)

[woody00]

my friend got bitten by a brown recluse spider and had to get a chunk of flesh cut out of his leg. he said it felt like a ant bite and it got much worse after a week. a little tiny spider can do this to a person, just shows how powerful their poison is.

I was bitten by a black widow about 8 months ago in an ankel the venom spread up my leg and ate up some of my calf muscle. Now my left calf is bugger then my right one. I was on Anti-biotics for a month cause of that.

Let it heal and then have some deep tissue massage theropy doen on it. It will break up the scar tissue and allow for new growth.

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always go in RIGHT after a bite. You can save so much flesh and muscle if you catch it right away....that is a bad one.

That's the worse recluse spider bite I've ever seen and I've seen plenty here in Florida.

WOW! Thats disguisting! Poor bro.

 

[jawbreakerkid]

that's the nice thing about living in chicago, we don't have poisonous insects or snakes or alligators etc...we just deal with the cold for 4 months a year. I'll take the cold over losing the flesh off my thigh due to a spider...that's nasty

 

[woody00]

that pic is 1 month after he had surgery on it. the only tissue he lost was his outer skin and that thin layer of skin covering the muscle. that was taken over a year ago, and hes still recuperating.

I was bitten by a Fiddleback variety in the desert last year. He hit me on both calves. My MD was a pimp and dialed me in quickly on using antihistamines both topically and internally to keep it under control. It looks like your friend had the allergic reaction to it and that is scary. I ended up with about a 2 1/2 inch circle on each calf that turned as purple as it can be. Six months later you could still see it....

Wow, that is nasty.
Everytime I see a pic like that I get bad flashbacks to my abscess. My arm had a friggin hole in it, and you could see the diffrent layers of skin below the surface just like that. It still looks kind of messed up 1,5 year afterwards with some colour disfigureation and a nice scar to boot. Dirty gear is a nasty spider.

"Six months later you could still see it...."

I remember seeing cases of Brown Recluse bites on the discovery channel. Some effects like the bleeding skin ulcers remain for years. You guy in the midwest should always shake out your towels, clothes, shoes and bedsheets before using.

That is sick bro. My wife is a registered nurse and does home health here in Nebraska and she took care of a lady that got bit on her back by a brown recluse. She said that the wound was not quite that bad. She went to the Dr. right away and he just gave her some antibiotics and said this will do. Stupid fucking doctor, now she has a scar on half of her back. My wife took care of her for over a month to help her change her dressing. Later, bigwil

It is good to go right away with a brown recluse only thing is that when they first bite ya you dont even know it sometimes. Only when the volcano starts to show do you really know then its almost to late it will have to be debreeded. My friend got bit in basic training in Ft Jackson SC let it go for about two weeks finally everyone just told on him so to say luckily for him save his arm. MM

DAMN

Thats some serious shit, I got bit by one fo those in my forearm, while in Ranger School and the scrapped out the a chunk of skin the next day and about a 2 by 2 hole in my arm that would get packed daily. Your boy got it bad, he must not done anything about it for at least a week. That shit spreads fast. My best wishes go out to him, thats no joke!

 

[Mr Pickels]

yeah, i got bit by one of those fuckers in june,

made me sick as a dog, i lost 25 lbs in a matter of weeks from not being able to sleep or eat from the pain

i went to the Dr after 3 days and i got the antiBs for a month...

bite was on the "upper thigh" region .. got bit while sleeping so i didnt know what it was for a few days

it completely kicked my ass

thank god i had almost no tissue damage

 

[hadi]

The MF got me too, I did not know what it was, it was a dark circle inside a lighter colored blue one. I started hallucinating and thinking real weird strange things. I thought i had bumped something with my upper thigh but my GF kept saying "you better get help!"
She's grown around them in East TX. and I guess she knew.
Anthistamines and antibiotics and some suffering.

i didnt get halucinations but i seriously thought i was dying....

sweating, but felt cold, put a blanket on and then 2 minutes later i'd have a 104 fever....

i was a mess... couldnt even open my eyes cuz the bright lights gave me a shooting pain in my head...

i wouldnt wish that upon an enemy
