How to treat spider bites

How to treat spider bites


steps :-

1. Remove the stinger as soon as possible. Contrary to popular belief, it does not matter how you remove it, simply pulling out with fingers is fine.

 

 

2.Look for symptoms of an allergic reaction

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Hives that appear as a red, itchy rash and spread to areas beyond the sting
  • Swelling of the face, throat or mouth tissue
  • Wheezing or difficulty swallowing
  • Restlessness and anxiety
  • Rapid pulse
  • Dizziness or a sharp drop in blood pressure
If the symptoms are present, seek emergency medical attention. Take an antihistamine as soon as possible and be ready to use the epinephrine part of an emergency allergy kit, if it has been prescribed in the past.
