Spider bite

Spider bites with the black widow and brown recluse posing the most danger threats. Wolf spider can also cause a problem.  Watch for severe pain or burning at the site, swelling, itching, painful joints, difficulty breathing and rapid heartbeat.  Circle around the bite with a pen, if anything comes out of the circle (redness, whelping, rash) seek immediate medical attention. 

Snake bite should be observed whether it was a poisonous snake.  A poisonous bite mark has puncture wounds. Keep calm, call 911, stay in location and don’t move to create blood flow through the body, keep bite area lower than the heart, wait for help to take to a facility with anti-venom medication.
