Common symptoms of a brown recluse spider bite include shivering, vomiting, nausea, fever, itching, shock and restlessness. The bite may come out as an injury of about 1 to 2 3/4 inches which takes several months of healing and will leave you with unsightly scars. The bite is usually deep and will cause pain eventually.
The bite has the appearance of a bullâs-eye, with a central blister that scabs and falls off, leaving a small ulcer. Possible symptoms include body aches and fever. Children may be at risk for an allergic reaction to the venom. To treat a brown recluse spider bite, immediately wash it and apply an ice pack. You can also use an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. In most cases, symptoms resolve within 48 hours, but the central ulcer may take weeks to heal.
