though many people are afraid of spiders
they rarely bite people unless
threatened
most spider bites are harmless
occasionally spider bites can cause
allergic reactions
and bites by the venomous black widow
and brown recluse spiders can be very
dangerous to people
if you are bitten by a spider you may
see a reaction similar to that of a bee
sting including redness pain and
swelling at the site
to treat a spider bite
wash the area well with soap and water
apply an ice pack or a wet compress to
the area
take over the counter pain medicine if
needed
consider using antihistamines for severe
swelling
seek medical treatment for small
children and adults with severe symptoms
