I agree that papayan is a great for digesting the proteins in a bee
sting, and helping neutralize it. It is a digestive enzyme that digests
proteins and amino acids. However for a spider bite, which is a
digestive enzyme that digests proteins and amino acids as well, it seems
that using papayan (which is from the papaya plant, not a pineapple)
would be like adding fuel to a fire. I would personally be afraid to
try it for a spider bite, it seems to me it would hurt, not help.

Speaking of digestive enzymes, meat tenderizer is one of the best
treatments for stings. Adolphs' is just fine. It haas pineapple
enzymes or something like that. Or good old MSG, Accent, does the same
thing- apply topically, in a paste. These neutralize the stuff the
bugs inject. I would be interested to know if it would help with a
spider bite, I never thought to try it. I suppose if you had digestive
enzyme tablets, and crushed them to make a paste, that would probably
work too. This really does work, I have used it for years- I have one
son who used to be a wasp magnet.

RAW honey also draws out the poison.
I have had good results with the bitters being able to draw out the
poison from the bite that is causing the reaction.
With most bites, ....... it is not a poison. It is a digestive
enzyme.
It is not a matter of drawing it out.
It must be neutralized. Nothing in the body is designed to do this.
We are not designed to be bitten and dissolved by other critters.
It must be contained, and the damage repaired.
