This is a classic example of what I mean by "Worthless Mainstream Medical
Sites".
If I had read this, believed it, and done it, I might have been a ghost by now.
Read the last item ! No scientific Studies ?? At one time, all
treatments were based on
What Works, and What Don't.
Some evil genius introduced the "Scientific Study" to corrupt and
criminal-ize the medical system.
They were very successful. By doing this, they eliminated 90% of all
proven treatments.
Don't think for one minute I am making this up, or it is simply my biased
opinion. In recent years, criminal charges have resulted from
intentionally warped results of some tests and studies of specific drugs.

|Self-Care at Home|
Home first aid care is simple.
* Do these techniques:
* Apply ice to decrease pain and swelling.
* Elevate area if possible above the level of your heart.
* Wash the area thoroughly with cool water and mild soap.
* Avoid any strenuous activity because this can spread the spider's
venom in your skin.
* Use ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve or Naprosyn), or other
anti-inflammatories for pain relief.
* Don't do these techniques:
* Do not place any heat to the area. This will accelerate tissue
destruction.
* Do not apply any steroid creams to the area such as
hydrocortisone cream.
* Do not attempt to remove the spider venom with suction devices or
cut out the affected tissue.
* Do not apply electricity to the area. Anecdotal reports of high
voltage electrotherapy from common stun guns have never been shown to be
effective in any scientific studies. This can also cause secondary burns
and deepen tissue destruction.
