A member asked:
If you are bitten by a black widow are you automatically immune to another bite if you survive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: If you have been bitten before, you may have developed some antibody response for future protection but you may not be completely immune. If bitten again, still seek medical attention!
