What to do if You Got Bitten by a Spider?
It is important that this wound does not become contaminated with bacteria, causing infection.
Most yellow sac spider bites only form a hardened red bump, which heals in a few weeks.
If you are bitten by any spider, it is critical to capture the spider so that it can be identified.
An ice compress should be applied to bite area to reduce swelling. Clean and sterilize the bite wound and monitor the symptoms.
If systemic reactions occur such as nausea, fever, malaise, stomach cramps, or skin necrosis, or an open sore develops, contact a physician immediately.
There is still some controversy concerning some of the spider bites. Some claim that a yellow sac spider can cause necrotic lesions, while others believe that necrotic lesions attributed to yellow sac spiders are caused by bites from other organisms, health problems, disease, etc.
