A member asked:

Do you drain the blister from a recluse spider?

No, see a doctor!: If you're pretty certain it's truly a brown recluse bite, then see a plastic surgeon or wound care specialist early on--these are serious and can lead to tissue loss and scarring. No joke!

Drainage: The blister will need to be drained in a sterile fashion. As it contains toxins from the recluse spider bite, it is important to drain the blister followed by dressing
