There are 20,000 species of spiders in the world. Learning to recognize bites during the first hours or days can save your life. This list lists the most common spider species in order of decreasing danger to humans. If you think your bite does not come from a black widow, brown recluse, vagrant spider, or bagworm spider, you can treat the bite at home.

Steps

Part 1 of 5: Black Widow Bite

1. 1 Look for two fanged bites. The first signs of a bite are usually stabbing pain. The bite may be painless as well, but the pain of the bite is a symptom of a black widow bite rather than the more dangerous brown recluse spider.
2. 2 Pay attention to the appearance of a blister and redness at the site of the bite. Sensitivity at the site of the bite will remain. You can rinse the bite with water.
3. 3 Look for more serious symptoms, such as high blood pressure, muscle cramps, and dizziness. If you recognize the bite before this point, seek immediate medical attention.
4. 4 If possible, bring a spider with you. Despite the fact that the spider may have been dead for a long time, its remains can confirm a black widow bite. The black widow has a round shape, a shiny body, and a diamond-shaped red spot on the abdomen.
5. 5 Get the ANTIDOTE. After determining the type of spider, you will be injected with an antidote.

Part 2 of 5: Brown Recluse Spider Bite

1. 1 Think back to the places you have visited in the past few days. The bites of these spiders are almost painless, but these spiders love dark and quiet places in the Southern States and the Midwest of the United States.
2. 2 Look for round redness or bulls-eye on your skin. Also, a blister may form on the skin or it may turn white. Do not wash your skin with water.
3. 3 If you find a bull's eye on your skin, seek immediate medical attention. Brown Hermit bites can be fatal. Necrosis may develop around the site of the bite, which means that the tissues die and darken.
4. 4 If you have a spider, take it with you. The brown recluse spider is brown or yellowish in color. They have thin and long legs, and the head and belly are oval in shape.

Part 3 of 5: Bite of a vagrant spider

1. 1 Pay attention to basements and other dark areas. Tramp spiders are much larger than most spiders. They can reach 12.5 / 20 centimeters in length, so they are easier to see when bitten.
   • Tramp spiders run very fast. They have yellow stripes on the brown back.
2. 2 Pay attention to the pain, it may not be severe, but constant. These spiders are not nearly as dangerous as the brown recluse or black widow.
3. 3 Look for redness and necrosis. Some of the skin around the bite may die off. After you determine that it is a spider bite, make an appointment with your doctor.
   • You may not need to go to the emergency room immediately if you make an appointment the next day.
4. 4 Apply ice immediately. Clean the bite with soap and water before meeting with your doctor.

Part 4 of 5: The Bite of the Sackworm Spider

1. 1 Identify a mild to moderate bite similar to a bee sting. These are bagworm spiders.
2. 2 Save the spider's body if possible. These spiders are yellow or greenish. They are very often confused with the brown recluse, but they are not fatal.
3. 3 Look for slight irritation at the site of the bite. Muscle pain around the bite site is also possible.
4. 4 Clean the wound with soap and water. Apply ice. See a doctor.
   • After this type of bite, you may need to take medication.

Part 5 of 5: Tarantula Sting

1. 1 Look for a large hairy spider. Tarantulas are larger than most spiders. They tend to inhabit the desert regions of the southwest.
2. 2 Wash the wound with soap and water. Most tarantula bites heal with home care.
3. 3 Get a tetanus shot if you haven't had one in the past 10 years.

Tips

• If you are bitten by a spider and you are far from medical facilities, immediately apply ice to the wound. Then treat the wound with first aid to avoid infection. Seek medical attention immediately upon return.

Warnings

• Do not apply pressure bandages or pressure on the bunch bites. While it is recommended to apply ice to most spider bites, it is best to see a doctor to prevent complications.
