Identifying Spider Bites: Signs and Appearance

Conclusion

The United States is home to more than 350,000 spider species. Not all spiders bite humans.  Some spiders have weak fangs that cannot puncture human skin, while some have powerful fangs and dangerous toxins that can cause several health conditions in humans. Identifying a spider bite plays a vital role in treatment. Some symptoms of spider bites may leave after a few weeks, while some may worsen if treatment is not received. Contact your doctor immediately if you are bitten by a spider.
