How to Treat a Spider Bite?

Spiders do not plan or target biting a human, in fact they want to stay away from you as much as you want to from them, and they are only forced to bite when they feel threatened.

Instances that cause a spider to bite include turning over on one in bed, frightening or surprising one, trampling on one, or moving your hand in their direction.

Spider bites can often be treated at home. Every spider species injects venom through its fangs to paralyze its victims, most spider venoms are not strong enough to poison people.

However, some spider venom is poisonous to humans and can be very hazardous. The most dangerous spiders in the US are recluse and widow.
