Attic Spider Bites

The first steps are the same for all spider bites even those from a black widow.

Attic spider bites.

But some spider bites can lead to serious complications. They like to stay indoors tucked away deep in the stuff in your basement or attic. The majority of the spiders in the united states aren t venomous so even if they do bite you their bites will heal within a week or so. Many bites occur because the spider is hiding in folded towels and sheets underneath a pile of clothes on the floor or in shoes in a closet potzler says.

Outdoors anything by the water attracts spiders. They don t like crowds. If the bite occurred because the patient disturbed a spider by moving old boxes in the attic that s much more likely than getting a bite in the yard. Recluse spiders have that name for a reason.

Indoors you can find spiders under eaves in your attic or in dusty neglected areas.
