Whitetail bites
How long do the effects last for ?
I heard they can last a long time....someone mentioned months
Was bitten by one late last summer, and I was bitten by something last night on my leg, and it bloody hurts, and my leg is swollen

When I was bitten last year, my leg swelled right up, I has a massive blister after 2 days, and had to have antibiotics.
Don't know what bit me last night...but it's swollen and sore again

Re: Whitetail bites

Re: Whitetail bites
Results of one study into confirmed Wtail bites:
* A quarter of the bites were to the hands and feet.
* Almost half the bites were on the arm or leg.
* 27 per cent of the people were bitten on the trunk.
* 6 per cent of the people were bitten on the head or face.
* Pain or discomfort was felt by all bite victims.
* Pain was severe (worse than a bee sting) in 27 per cent of bite victims.
* The bites also caused redness and itchiness.
* Most people suffered symptoms for up to 24 hours.
* Almost half the people in the study had a persistent painful or irritating red lesion.
The bites to the 130 people in the study were not characterised by necrotic ulcers or confirmed infections.
'We hope this study will begin to dispel some of the myths surrounding white-tail spiders and their bite,' Dr Isbister said.
