To take care of a spider bite: 1  Clean the wound. 2  Use mild soap and water and apply an antibiotic ointment. 3  Apply a cool compress. 4  Use a cloth dampened with cold water or filled with ice. 5  This helps reduce pain and swelling. 6  If the bite is on an arm or leg, elevate it.
At the same time, researchers also say poor understanding of truly dangerous spider bites delays treatment when a person really has been bitten by a dangerous spider. For example, the bite of the brown recluse spider can cause death of a sizeable area of skin (skin necrosis) resulting in a deep, scarring ulcer. Yet even in areas infested with brown recluse spiders, true bites are uncommon. The analysis is published in the July 14 online issue of The Lancet.
