A member asked:

Is it possible to be allergic to all spider bites?

Dr. Al Hegab answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Spider bites: Rather stings, usually cause a toxic reaction not an allergic reaction, not all venoms are alike, need to call poison control center case it happens, God forbids, or go to ER
