Wayne, Simplest treatment for a spider bite is an onion, cut one in half, mash the cut surface and apply straight on the bite and leave it there. Works for any insect sting or bite. From my experience, and we have quite a few very venomous spiders here in Australia, it works, even for our "Bull ant", his sting is very painful, takes the pain out in seconds, and seems to either neutralize the venom or draw it out.

What it does is digest proteins, and the venom is a form of protein that is easily digested by the tenderizer. I was wondering if it would work on the brown recluse. Thanks for the confirmation.

Rails Anyway the remedy I use on the brown recluse spider bite is Adolph's Meat Tenderizer and Vaseline petroleum jelly to make it stick the to bite......put your finger in the Vaseline and then shake some ADOLPH'S.....has to have Papaya Extract in it!!!....and put it on the bite sight for about 15 minutes....remember though, you are meat too....so not too long with the tenderizer on you....but that will draw out the venom for sure and there should be no scars or dead skin if you put it on right away.......do it if you even think you got it by this spider....it won't hurt that's for sure..... ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Sutton To: Rails02 (tyj) Sent: Saturday, December 13, 2003 9:45 PM Subject: Re: CS>Fw: Spider bite?
