ive been noticing a lot of tiny little spiders around my house lately. never really looked too close at them. somebody thought it would be a good idea to bite me though. i have several tiny little blisters on my inner arm now. although i highly doubt its a brown recluse bite even though they are common here i am putting a mixture of bentonite clay, powdered plantain leaf (the broadleaf herb not the fruit), and powdered echinacea. i hope one day modern medicine institutions will realise and appreciate that sometimes when modern medicine lacks or fails, natural remedies really can be effective (they already do with honey in burn wards). besides i used this treatment on my boyfriend last year when he actually was bit by a recluse and you wouldnt even know it by looking (no necrosis or infection, apparently it stung quite a bit until the clay pulled all the poison out) took several days of treatment (change poultice 3-4x daily) but its better than a shot in the rear of overpriced ER antibiotic and steroids (activated charcoal (only effective the first several hours after the bite), bentonite clay powder, powdered plantain leaf, powdered echinacea a. and p. all cost about $15 from the herb store). youll also want to make tea with the echinacea and drink it about 3 times/day. it acts as an antibiotic and stops secondary infection which is common especially in recluse bites. the other items pull out the toxins and the plantain soothes. the plantain can also be mixed with the echinacea powder to make tea. treat it from both sides. 1/2 teaspoon of each to a cup of boiled water steeped tightly for 10 mins. vit C is also a good idea. as with all herbs please check for contraindications with health issues you may have or pharmaceutical drugs you may take. i would imagine aside from the bentonite clay these herbs could be interchanged with garlic/black elderberry/ tea tree oil (do not take internally) for infection and calendula/lavender/tea tree oil for irritation or any number of other herbs that give the same benefit without risk of allergy/interaction. hope this makes sense and helps
