9. Spider Bite Prognosis
Most of the time, symptoms from spider bites dissipate on their own over time, and there are no long-lasting effects. Usually, the person only needs care at home, including proper cleaning of the bite site and implementation of pain mitigation measures.
While people bitten by black widow spiders and brown recluse spiders may experience more severe symptoms, they can expect a full recovery as long as they seek appropriate medical care.1‘Spider Bites: Signs, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment & Prevention.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/16639-spider-bites.
