I saw an article on the web recently but can't remember where or find it again.

The idea was that the spider poison constricts the blood vessels in the area and causes tissue death because it can't get any blood. Nicotine dilates blood vessels so it counteracts the effect of the poison on the blood vessels and allows it to be moved out of the area.

A nicotine patch (one that has nicotine evenly dispersed across the patch) is cut to be just larger than the bite, including the area that is being affected by the poison and applied over the bite. You could have it monitored by a doctor if it is a child and you don't want to get too much nicotine exposure. I would think that any doctor would be receptive to this approach.

Jim, can you elaborate on the nicotine patches, please? My friend (or I) have no idea about nicotine patches. Barbara PS. Forget the electrical impulses....

    Nicotine patches work, as does electrical impulses.

    Do a bit of searching.
