Charcoal. I say that because I'm not sure on the cs although I would start drinking that down too.
I have the book Rx:Charcoal by Agatha Thrash, MD and Calvin Thrash,MD. They have three cases with these bites where they made charcoal poultices or compresses and changed them every 30 minutes for about 8 hours or so and then lengthened the time between changes to 2 and then 4 hours. All cases of bites healed. To make a charcoal compress for it, dissolve in water a spoonful or more of charcoal powder ( enough to make a sufficient paste to cover the area to be treated), or crush several tablets in plain water. Spread the paste on a folded piece of paper toweling large enough to cover the area to be treated and mold the compress to the area. The toweling should be moistened with the paste. Cover the compress with a piece of plastic cut from a bread bag or other plastic bag, large enough to overlap the compress on all sides by at least one inch. I'm thinking though that if you don't have charcoal that maybe clay would be the next best thing since it works along the same lines of drawing toxins out.

His parents took him to ER but they did not do anything at ER saying that there is no antidote to this spider bite. They wanted to give the kid steroid for swelling and told them to watch it and when the wound turns black, take him to the doctor. I'm just thinking that there must be something natural for it? Would anyone know if CS will help? Or anything else? How about black salve? Will that help? If anyone knows anything, please, share. Thanks. Barbara
