Since this topic popped back up and you guys seem to love looking at my 68 yo toes, here is another pic.
It blistered a bit a couple days ago and squirted about 8" when i stuck a needle in it. The toe is tender but not really painful. Still looks like an overcooked little smoky.

I don't know who I feel worse for, OP for getting bit or the spider for putting it's mandibles on those toes.
 Trim those toe daggers. OP is right though, ARF does have some sort of weird male on male foot obsession. OP just giving the people what they want. |

While I agree my nails need cutting. How about you guys manage your feet as you want and I will take care of mine. |

You're supposed to censor the nails. Observe: https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/Mystery-of-the-swollen-toe-All-arfdocs-wrong-post-your-foot-pics-/5-2465404/?page=1

Quote HistoryBy the looks of that big toe, I don't think good foot care is a priority to that guy. |

Still has decent color. Good thing you dont have the beetus OP, if you did, that toe would be darker than a Ralph Northam Halloween costume.

Those nails explain the spider bite, that happens when you climb trees.

A brown recluse killed my friend. He didn't survive the following infection.

I had it. The antibiotics didnt work. Read an article form University of Texas on a guy who has dcoumented treatment since the 70s. He recommended huge amounts daily of benadryl. After nothing else worked this did. The bite was brutal, although oddly pain free.

Quote HistoryQuoted: A hatchet is way to imprecise. I suggested that we use a wood chisel. Just take off the one toe. I like the car lighter idea though, I will keep that in mind as opposed to the brulee torch that my wife wanted to use Use a PVC pipe cutter, quick, precise, clean margins. Plus, if you get the blade red hot first, it cauterizes as it cuts, leaves a nice finished result. |

Does OP use his hind legs to rip the guts out of his unlucky prey?
Fever, chills, achy joints, heavy sweating, loss of appetite for two, maybe three weeks. Make sure to drink plenty of water and force yourself to eat properly, and trim them toe nails. I had to dry myself off multiple times a night from sweating so much. |

Quoted: Updated: Back from urgent care, Doc said likely BR bite. Wrote a script for Bactrim, said if the toe starts getting black go to ER cause they didn't do any cutting at UC. Not the beetus, my AC1 is around 3. Advise/advice yeah I know the difference, just sometimes my fingers type without my brain fully engaging Edit. There is a wealth of informed information here at ARFCOM. Many educated people and then there are those that posted in this thread. Original post: I got bit yesterday morning by what I believe was a Brown Recluse. The bite was on the tip of my second toe,next to the big toe. I first noticed a little irritation and thought I was developing an ingrown toe nail. As the day progressed the toe continued to swell and by the end of the day the skin was mostly blistered. I took Benedryl (50mg three times), so the histamine response was minimized. Anyway this morning the toe is a little more swollen and a little more blistered. Very sensitive to touch. No throbbing or pain unless touched. My question is at what point do I need medical attention? From my research they really can not treat the reaction to the venom and can only excise the necrotic tissue, correct? So go to the Doc when necrosis starts? Or sooner? Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments |
