Suggest Remedies For Brown Recluse Spider Bite
Question: i think i got bit by brown recluse what should i do 2 hours ago
Brief Answer:
ice, elevation and visit the ER for assessment
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
the only thing you can do at home is to apply cold compresses, elevate the extremity (if you were bitten - as usually happens - on an extremity) and visit the ER for assessment. Further treatment will depend on the severity of your condition. If you can't recognize this spider then perhaps you should show it to someone who can to avoid getting into trouble without a real reason that is.
I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
