Ouch! You have my sympathy. Damn spider bite (2yrs ago) is a constant recurrence, every time I'm run down,or have any kind of infection,anywhere,tooth, eye etc up it comes,I look like I've been punched in the face. It's great😢 small pity party underway, no balloons, just dried up cake crumbs🤦🏼‍♀️

Lucky it's not UK, you'll die of it in the 8 hr wait in A&E.

Approx $3 for the Dr visit, including the compounded ointment/antibiotics.

If I was a scientist, damn I'd be checking out spider toxins!

Had spider bite on my finger once. I screamed if it was touched for months. After about ? two or three months I taped my fingers together so it wouldn't get bumped. After a few days -- the OTHER finger became unbearably painful where it touched the bitten finger! They are some weird toxins!

Thanks. I’d have ignored it, except it is near a knee and growing in size. Wouldn’t want to lose a leg when the price of assurance is only a couple of hours.

Here's hoping they have the exact thing you need for this.🙏🌹

Spider bites are nasty...I wish you luck, my friend!
(Beware of antibiotics that make you feel like your skin is on fire every time a ray of sunlight touches you! 😊)

I hope you get superpowers.

Does climbing on walls and ceilings count?

Don’t leave it like my boomer parents who damn near have to die before they ask for help. Take care of yourself.

With healthcare here almost free, I don’t hold back.
