What if a spider bite you … Here’s help and advice.

🕷🕸 There have been dozens of people bitten by spiders over the past month!

The deadly “black widow”.

Mr. Victor Boshoff (Chairman, Middelburg Herpetological Society) says most bites have been identified as pocket spiders, a common spider.
In the last four months, several people have been bitten by toxic spiders such as the violin spider.
Mr. Boshoff says if someone was bitten by a spider, they should take the wound down and send to him via  whatsapp to 082 697 9954 or 083 628 4902 so that he can identify what type of spider the person has bitten and what treatment should be applied.
People should note that a spider bite’s wound should not be opened, otherwise the poison will spread and cause further tissue damage.
Nor should it be popped, even if it makes a lump or a bladder.

The bag spider.

Furthermore, they should certainly not follow the “advice” to throw on the reluctance “so that it can cook out.”
He says the reluctant causes further tissue damage.
His advice is that the person immediately gets help as soon as he has identified the bite wound and it is a toxic spider.
• The typical treatment is to keep the wound clean with lukewarm, cooled boiling water with salt or English salt in it. The wound can even be kept in a bowl with this water.
Then immediately Supiroban ointment, which is available at pharmacies, should be put up.
When the pharmacy goes to the pharmacy, immediately put raw honey on the bite. Grated potato that is put on the wound and closed for six hours can also do wonders.
In the case of a toxic spider bite, he would recommend the person to get antibiotics from a doctor.

The violet spider.

Three toxic spiders.
*The Vi violence spider’s poison is neuro and cytotoxic, which means it attacks the nervous system and tissue. In most cases, it starts like a pimple, becomes rotten and a hole can invade when tampering with it.
*The bag spider’s bite causes severe blisters.
This spider can end up with the wind in your sheets and clothing on the laundry line, where he spins a small cocoon and stays for months.
If you then get in between the sheets or put on your clothes, you are bitten.
Severe secondary infections and wounds can be caused if the blisters are opened.
*The button spider (also called ‘Black Widow’) is very toxic (neurotoxic) and is the only spider for which one should immediately get antiserum.
Mr. Boshoff says if a child or elderly or even persons with chronic illnesses are bitten by a violet or button-up spider, they can die if they do not receive treatment.
•Mr. Boshoff has identified more than 700 spider bites across the country over the past year.
