What are the most effective treatments to take care of a spider bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spider bite: If not caused by a brown recluse bite or by a black widow spider, the risk from a typical spider bite is mostly for infection. Clean the site with soap and water and apply triple antibiotic ointment and a bandaid. See a doctor for increasing redness or swelling.
