Does anyone know what to do if you get bitten by a spider?

I am sure I was bitten by a spider. Just a regular house spider though. If I leave it will be ok?

Im sure you'll be fine, but if any skin irritation occurs, or any sign, go to the doctor. When I was a kid I was bit by some small spider and there was a 4 in diameter circle of dark skin surrounding the bite and it was disgusting, I went to the doctor finally and they gave me antibiotics I think, and it went away, but I still have an indent in my leg from it. So don't hesitate to go to the doctor if anything starts to look funny!

If you develop any unusual rashes, especially in the area near the bite, or swelling, itchiness, and that sort of thing then please go see a doctor. Really, if you notice anything, please go see your doctor.

Thanks

It's probably fine, but if it stays for more than a few days, go to the doctor.

You'll be fine. There are very few poisonous spiders and if it was just a house spider I'm sure you will be fine

[FierceMegan2]

Okay, thank you. Should I do anything to it? Or just leave it?

[MileHighGuy]

Just leave it

So long as it didn't look like this link then you are fine. No other dangerous spiders live in New York.

[martyfellow]

Yes. Just leave it alone unless it becomes infected, as you would with any puncture wound...some spider bites can cause a nasty infection even if the spider isn't considered poisonous..

Throw a custom together and start fighting crime ?

[FierceMegan2]

LOL! You're the fifth person to say that to me. I was thinking pink and black.

[Light_Yagami]

The color scheme sounds workable lol In all seriousness you'll be fine, not all spiders contain venom and out of the ones that do most venom doesn't contain enough toxicity to effect a human. Unless you continually let the spider bite you over and over again lol

I would go to the doctor asap.
