Has anyone tried the Brown Recluse First Aid Kit that is sold online? If so does it work?


Answers:
I disagree with Sean's last sentence. Many of the times you will not see the spider before you are bit. I am a prime example of that. I have no idea where I was when I was bit or when it happened exactly. I could have rolled over in bed, sat in a chair, whatever. I have no idea.As for your question, I would be curious to know if the kits do work. I went through a great deal of pain and general discomfort from my bite. I did not suffer any tissue damage. I am not sure anything would stop tissue damage from a recluse bite anyway.
It does not work. At least there is no scientific evidence that there are ANY techniques that will change the course of a brown recluse bite.Most of the time it's no different from a regular insect bite, but in the rare person who develops ulceration, there's nothing that stops it. Many scientists and doctors have spent years on the problem without an answer. If it was as easy as an over the counter kit, every ER in the country would stock them.Remember, unless you see the spider bite you, it's probably not even a spider bite.
See a doctor. Do not wait.
