How much colloidal silver do I need to apply to a spider bite received yesterday afternoon while walking through my yard? I've dabbed some on a couple of times but it isn't helping.

I had support from around the world. I think the people in Australia and New Zealand, and that part of the world have forgotten more than we know in the USA.

Speed is an important point.  Do everything you do quickly.
The sooner the treatment is started the better.

The response and strength of the immune system makes a huge difference.

The venom in some spiders may in fact be poison, but in some it is not actually poison, it is a digestive enzyme designed to liquidity the food for the spider so he can suck it in easily.

It will likewise make a mess of human cells.

How the body immune system contains this seems to be a factor
I don't think it can in fact neutralize it.

Other factors effect the soreness, swelling, and the size of the damage. Of course strong young people fare better than older weaker ones.

My fever went up for 1 degree for one day. That is when I decided the spider could not kill me. I talked to two doctor friends but never went to the doctor.

Some of my friends serious believed and told me,
"Go to the doctor or you are going to die".  How brave they are  !

I read all the other messages. While these things may help, most are doing things that do not need to be done at all.

I used MSM and Everclear as a poultice
CS as a poultice / soaks
Used Bentonite as a Poultice hydrated with CS

Used  Crushed Onion as a poultice, one of the best straight from Australia.

What else ?  I ate 5 kinds of fruit per day.

Took the usual vitamins and minerals.

I worked every day and had some excess swelling for a day or so.
Never forget, Swelling is very important. In the case of a bad snake bite it can save your life.

Oh....... last but not least, ....... The Stun Gun. This really gets your attention. I shocked the bite 5 times, once in the center, then at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock.

I can't say what was the best treatment.  Maybe all combined.
I know I had tested my immune system several times.

One good way is to stand there and allow a wasp or bumble bee to sting to its hearts content. Then notice the effect.

Back to your original question about CS.  Use a lot, drink a lot,
use soaks a lot. Still, the venom is not a bacteria, a virus, or a common poison. It is more like pouring some strong acid slowly on the cells. They will dissolve, die, and a hole will result.
How severe all this is .......... depends on many things I mentioned above.

Don't expect any magic cure from anything.  It will take some time.
I still have all my pictures on my website.
If anyone wants to see them, I can post the links.

Many of the treatments mentions suggested a weakened condition that needs boosting. Hopefully one has a strong body and immune system to start with. This is the time to find out.
