My daughter was bitten by a brown recluse spider and was hospitalized for 4 days. They only pumped her with fluids to flush her body. Her red blood cells dropped to 29 and they wanted to give her a blood tranfusion. Now she's itching any help out there?

Hi..I just happened upon this thread..Hope everything worked out well for your daughter. In the future, if you or someone you know gets bitten by a recluse spider, if you can find some kerosene and put some on it right away, you won't have a problem.
My niece was bitten by a recluse spider....Her mother, my sister, quick put some kerosene (the same kersoene that one would use in a kerosene stove) on it. She then took her to the doctor. The doctor told her what would happen. She replied, no it won't I put kerosene on it. And she was right. It didn't even leave a scar. I try to keep a little handy just in case.

Later, I was bitten by, I think, a spider. One morning when I got up my little toe was red and swollen. I was going to clean a friends house. I couldn't wear shoes, so I put on some flip-flops and went on. By the time I got home, my toe up-into my foot was really sore and was turning black. I soaked my foot in some kerosene for a few minutes. Then, that night, I wet a small cloth in kerosene and taped it around my toe. The next morning my foot was fine. The kerosene must pull the poison out.

You might want to do some research on doctors that specialize in this type of bite. I had a friend whose then four-year-old had a brown recluse bite on her butt more than twenty years ago. The skin actually died in about a 4" diameter area around the bite and as I recall, she had to have a skin graft after the venom had stopped working. Brown Recluse bites are pretty nasty things.

I found a pretty good article on Brown Recluse bites and their treatment. http://www.emedicinehealth.com/spider_bite_brown_recluse_spider_bite/article_em.htm

I'm not a doctor, just a person who has always been terrified and amazed by spiders since childhood. But, I do know that there are antivenom treatments available for recluse spiders. BUT, those treatments may be dangerous to some people, in some cases worse than the bite itself. So, if I were you, I would hold off for now and see if the itching gets better.

I hope your daughter is already feeling better. I just joined this forum today or I would have answered you sooner. If she is still itchy without other symptoms, it may be that the bite is healing on its own. Some over-the-counter treatments that helped when I had hives really bad were Benadryl tablets and Aveeno oatmeal bath packets.
