What are Some Spider Bite Symptoms?
Most spider bite symptoms are no different than any other insect bite, which is good news for those who have been bitten. A victim of a spider bite can expect some redness and itching around the bite area itself, and possibly some localized swelling and pain. First aid treatment for a minor spider bite would be the same for a bee sting or an ant attack. An ice pack should be applied to the area to reduce swelling, and oral pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen will address the general pain and inflammation.
