Well, I went to the ER about 5 hours after I was bitten and they gave me prescriptions for antibiotics and painkillers, no antivenom. If I would have thought, I would have tried to suck the venom out as soon as I got bitten, lol. I don't know if that really works, but what could it have hurt?
I've kept it clean and dry and it IS getting better, slowly but surely. There was a deep burning pain in my foot, which is still there, but much less severe. I can hobble around for about 30-45 seconds now using my heel now before it gets too uncomfortable, which is much improved from what it was. I believe I'll be over it and able to walk (and ride my motorcycle.. beautiful weather this entire time and I've been stuck inside. -_-;) within 2 or three days, maybe. I saw an account on Youtube of a guy who was bitten on the bottom of his foot and he missed a month of work, so I suppose I should count myself lucky.
But what gets me is if this was a brown recluse, all of the pictures I've googled of brown recluse bites have been horrendous gore-worthy images. Is this because they didn't take care of the bite properly or because they were bitten in a different area than me or because not all recluse bites result in necrosis? Or d) all of the above?
This is my first encounter with a venomous creature and I'm just a bit anxious, is all.
tl;dr It sucks to be spider-bitten.
