Hi Friends, Maggots are great in open puncture wounds like gunshot wounds or open surgery. During WW I, before antibiotics they were the method of choice to clean up the dead tissue in a large wound. As the maggots ate the dead flesh and moved to new areas, it was noticed that they exuded a clear substance which healed where they had been. This substance was analyzed and the first antibiotic was discovered: Allantoin! Allantoin is found in Comfrey, an available herb. I think I'd find a comfrey plant, crush the leaves and apply to your spider bite and surrounding area. Might just be the ticket.

They will consume all the dead tissue and not touch living tissue at all. Be sure they are clean so you don't introduce an infection, but don't try to sterlize them, they need to be alive. I would say rinsing with colloidal silver would be just the ticket.
