I went to a doctor Monday, May 18 with a severe spider bite. My upper arm was so red, swollen, & a huge green hole in the center. The doctor gave me instructions to build my immune system by eating broccoli, beans, & drinking green tea. He said it was an ant bite & gave me topical creams & claratin. I had to go to another doctor to get anti-biotics. If a doc can't tell an ant bite from wood recluse maybe he shouldn't be a doctor!
