Brown recluse spider bite

[Charlotte ChumleaStudent]

My son was bitten twice by a brown recluse about a year ago. After a course of a strong antibiotic from the ER, he has partially recovered but has two holes at the bite locations. The medical literature indicates that inflammation can recur at the bite locations. Can anyone recommend a salve or poultice that might draw any remaining toxin out of his body? Can the toxin be neutralized?  Thank you for any advice you might have.

The Venom & Sting formula is good for neutralizing the toxins. The poultice formula is good for healing wounds caused by the tissue destruction.

Have a look at the wound management and the venomous Bites lessons. :0)

Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

I have your poultice formula in a powder. Would you recommend that I make it into a salve and send it to him (out of state)?

My husband was bitten and we ignored it initially since it was a mystery at first. On day 3, the skin had a near-black center with blisters and a much larger deep red area around it. I remembered Dr. Jones’ video on this and made the tea and poultice and it started improving visually in 2 days and by 2 weeks he was healed.

I was so excited at this success that I then enrolled in his class!

My 4 pound chihuahua was stung on her little paw by a honey bee.  I pulled the stinger our of her dew claw confirming the sting.  It is essentially the same chemical, formic acid causing the burn, and hyaluronase  melting the tissue.  I was at a friends new home and had inspected her yard taking note of the weeds growing before this happened.  After the sting, I gathered the broad leaf Plantain, chewed and applied it to my dogs leg, using a few bandaids to secure the chew poltice.  It work ed perfectly, drawing out the poison.  Had I not known to do this, I am sure her leg would have swelled, and became grotesque.  The same could be used for your boy.  A chew poltice, changed when it gets black, and if he will eat some, it helps.  You can also give and\or apply Echinacea if you have any at hand.  it stimulates hyaluronic acid production.  I hope this is helpful.
