I have been on antibiotics for a few days and the stuff makes me feel weak or lousy at times. The wound may be less sore but still is ugly and discolored.
I just found some natural treatments for spider type bites. On my list I have these. I am on my way over to whole foods to see what I can find:
calendula
shea butter
lavender oil
witch hazel
bennonite clay
baking soda
potato poltice
aloe vera
lemon oil
echniacia
plantain
topical colodial silver
I also have tons of comfrey out in my yard, should I try that ? I had the impression it could heal up a wound but possibly it will heal stuff so it gets incased in the skin
I have just google searched a ton about spider bites. Many web sites indicate the risk may be overblown and that many of the fatalities are from infections and not spider venom

this web site surprised me a little in how casual people take it:
https://www.mothering.com/forum/47-vaccinations/1230910-tetanus-spider-bite.html"I live in the woods. we get spider bites alot. They get red, they swell. This is a normal reaction. It will most likely go away on it's own. People react differently to spider bites. I swell up, it lasts a while up to a week. They itch and hurt. My DH barely notices them and DS is somewhere in the middle."
..
" I would skip the doc and give apis mellifica. my ds is highly allergic to fire ant venom and we live in FL so he gets bitten ALOT. i have a theory that the lubricating fluid produced by his eyes smells and tastes yummy to them, bc he always seems to get bitten near the eyes. and on more than one occasion when we bedshared, he would get bitten and i wouldnt.
anyway, i have so many pics of him with an eye swollen shut and an ear that looked like a pork chop i could fill a whole scrapbook. i just give apis mellifica and let him hold an ice pack to the area and he's fine in a few days."

"The same thing happened to my dd a few years ago. It's nothing to go to the Dr over, IMO. I'm sure he will be fine"
