Seems almost too obvious to mention, but there is a very good suction pump tool widely available in camping stores. It is for snake bites, spider bites, and bee stings, and seems quite well made and reliable. It is less than 20 bucks. Seems a good thing to have on hand. . . though I know also that using electricity works wonders on mosquitoes bites in my experience.

Check REI for the suction tool.

Hello DL,


Richard Schulze recommends cayenne powder that stops bleeding instantly.

   Often I wonder if we do not stop bleeding too quickly.

After I soaked the spider bite, and it softened up, by pumping the calf muscle, I could force out bright red blood. Not very much, but at least this meant the fluids were flowing in the right direction.

Or, at least I thought that to be true. Could I be wrong in my thinking.

   I am not highly skilled or trained in wound treatment.
