If the bite was that of a Brown Recluse, the main toxin is a potent long lasting vasoconstrictor.
The tissue dies, not from the toxin, but from lack of blood supply. Other than the pain, there is no probably no harm in trying later.

However, Dr. Osborn reports doing this as much as 5 weeks after the bite with favorable results. We did the treatment about 7 PM. By 11 PM, I noticed a difference in the draining. A different color and viscosity. I bandage before going to sleep with a CS soaked bandage. This am more drainage was noticed than on previous nights. I leave the bandage off for periods during the day. This am, while walking around doing the very limited morning chores, drainage was such that it ran down to my sock. It had never done this before. I can use 3 fingers, pressing down, and moving them around the bite, within 1/2 inch, no pain, and the area seems softer. Something is happening differently. I have a number of treatments in line that I have not used yet simply because the wound is draining so well. I have had a number of simple infections ( simple boils ) that have been many times more painful than this spider bite. The absence of pain has amazed me. Last night a neighbor nurse called me and wanted me to come to the office where she works for cortisone and antibiotics. She said, "one week of antibiotics will not kill you". I had to say, "No thank you". Hopefully, I do not need these anytime soon. CS soaks, MSM soaks, and Epsom Salts soaks plus the Onion poultice when the swelling was bad ( about 3 days ) plus a barrage of supplements and vitamin C may have been the key to zero pain. I can only guess what the resulting effect would have been using conventional treatment of antibiotics. Wayne >But if you try it and it does help, tell us.
