I had 2 Black Widow spider bites. I put meat tenderizer (papain, bromelain in meat tenderizer break down protein and bee venom and I presume spider venom is made of protein also) one the first one. In absence of meat tenderizer I have used digestive enzymes or fresh pineapple, papaya, or kiwi fruit. The bite I put meat tenderizer on immediately did not react at all to the venom- no necrotizing tissue or inflammation at all. I did get a general reaction of nausea and stomach cramps. The second bite I didn't recognize as a bite at the time. The next day it started to necrotize and my leg swelled up and turned red. In an inflammatory situation Vitamin C in large quantities should help. I was given an antibiotic and after a couple of days the swelling went away, after a lot of prayer and healing scripture confessions. Perhaps soaking in epsom salts would also be beneficial because that helped my daughter after she had swelling and inflammation from a pencil lead being rammed into her foot. I'm only assuming Black Widow spider venom and Brown Recluse venom are similar. Nancy -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
