MrFly Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Hey I have a spider bite I believe. It is a lump with a red ring around it. I marked it and it got huge today at school. The lump itself is on the verge of being so hot you would almost burn yourself touching it. The whole opposite side of my arm it touchy (sensitive to touch) and every once in a while it feels like someone is holding a lighter up to it and burning it. There is no rash. I tried squeezing the bite and it hurts really bad and nothing comes out. I don't know what to do I have looked up symptoms and nothing has matched. Please help. Also I have a minor sore throat and I didn't really want to be around food or eat dinner.
Jorcer Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Ummm... Well then... Try a medical forum? I don't think you really want to take medical advice from the people on this forum (yes I include myself in this)
xxmikegigsxx Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Try googling spiders in your area. Figure out the biting/venomous ones. Check your symptoms against its effects and see if you need anti-venom for it. This article may help
Industrial Miner Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Uhh, spiders. Great to scare someone with it, but their bites are like hell. Luckily I have a weapon: my shoe.
Xylord Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 First, go see a doctor. From your description (that is probably exaggerated by stress or pain, it's normal), it might be something serious. If you can't go see a doctor right now : Where do you live? (Country) How long ago were you stung? Did you see the spider stinging you? What was her size, color, amount of hair etc. And again, go visit a doctor as soon as possible, you should probably go in the emergency.
Jorcer Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Spiders do not sting. They bite. Go easy on him, English is his second language ;)
Jay? Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 You need a gem tier tool to mine it. Seriously though, don't ask for medical advice on a minecraft forum. You can call your local hospital on a non-emergency line and they'll give you actual, informed instructions about what you should do.
Xylord Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Spiders do not sting. They bite. Wanna play this game? Alright, I'm up. First, some picture evidence : Aww, so pretty, isn't she? Just to make it clear, all spiders have the same head configuration, apart that they have varying quantities of eyes. Thus, this giant tarantula can be used as an example. Now, as you can see there are two fangs right there, that are used to sting preys. You could think they are constituents of the mouth, but the two small furry legs they're on are separate from the mouth, those two limbs are actually called chelicera, and are like the ninth and tenth arms of the spiders. All spiders that can sting got them (Most of them). The mouth is hidden about behind the fangs, and is a pretty small thing, and is used a bit like a straw, to suck the liquefied proteins of the spider's meals (The venom of spiders is often used by them to dissolve the meat and organs of their preys to make it easier to eat). In other words, spiders can't bite, they sting. That's what I call "Information overload overkill". Thanks for the good feels Jorcer, but I can handle myself.

Oh I know you can handle yourself, I was more poking fun that sticking up for you. For a blob you are remarkably well informed. Also your pic is broke

Also your pic is broke Oh, it's working for me. I'm going to use a imgur link, wait a min. Edit : What about now?
Jorcer Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Oh, it's working for me. I'm going to use a imgur link, wait a min. Edit : What about now? Yerp you fixed it... ... Break it AGAIN !!!!!!! PLEASE :(
Xylord Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Yerp you fixed it... ... Break it AGAIN !!!!!!! PLEASE But... It's all educative and shit! :/ And don't you feel like you could just pet this fur ball all the day? It's like a kitten, without being mainstream, and it can chase dogs, other cats, robbers and international terrorists off! All the advantages in one cute creature.
Xylord Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 That doesn't seem to have eyes. They're on the very top of the head. You can see one of them a little bit, above the place where the exoskeleton is visible (The white bit over the chelicera (The thing with the fangs on it, god damnit!)). Edit : Oups, double post D:

freakachu Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 first, go see a psychiatrist or something. tell him that you have some kind of mental disorder that makes you believe it is a good idea to ask people on a minecraft mod forum for serious medical advice in a timely manner. once they've admitted you to the asylum, I'm sure the doctors on staff can handle the bite no problem and they may even do it at no extra charge!
MrFly Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 Today is worse. (WARNING A BIT GRAPHIC) It had a white tip this morning. I squeezed it and green puss came out. Today my throat hurt and my nose was extremely over the top stuffy. I am also sore everywhere. I am going to see a doctor.

Moderators Munaus Posted September 20, 2012 Moderators Posted September 20, 2012 I am going to see a doctor. Doctor Munaus to the rescue! Now, first things first. When was the last time you fapped? You might want to do it more often. If your manhood isn't on fire yet then fap fap until you pop! Don't stop until you bleed. Now you have two problems. Secondly, you sound like you have some spiderman-syndrome. This is normal for nerds who believe that you get superpowers from a spider bite. You won't get any... Thirdly, have you tried removing that bite mark with a hot knife? Try it. If a hot knife is not for you, then perhaps a hot iron might work. Remember, no pain, no gain! Fourthly, get wasted! Always helps me. A good bottle of jägermeister heals any sore throat. Or reverses the effect if you over-do it. Drink alot, tea is good. With honey Doctor's appointment is over, that will be 5k plz

Maybe you're actually storing basilica pesto under your skin while you sleep? It's just a theory though.
MrFly Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 Maybe you're actually storing basilica pesto under your skin while you sleep? It's just a theory though. LOL no. I have been taking aleve and all that good stuff. IT might be gone by tomorrow.
Pulse95 Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Luckily for you I am spider expert! If it looks like this you are fine If it looks like this, you should consider having a friend or two help you dig a grave Hope this helps! P.S. I saw a great deal on a Wilsonette shovel on Ebay if you need it for the digging.

andrewdonshik Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Doctor said it is a brown recluse bite... From my googling, it seems like you're in for a "fun" time.
