Brown Recluse Spider Bites

I remember what a brown recluse did to me when my immune system was in poor shape prior to my health crisis and subsequent change in lifestyle and diet. I’m sure you’ll find some gory pictures of people’s wounds that never healed and other horror stories on the internet but I never heard of it killing anyone before my friends last e-mail said a young girl died from a brown recluse spider bite.

I also remember getting bit by a brown recluse about a year after I started eating better. I was gardening bare handed and while pulling weeds and I saw a brown recluse so I squashed it as it was trying to get away from me. Having had dealt with them before I washed my hands and checked for the sting mark and sure enough it got me twice on the hand long before I ever saw it.

So having a fresh batch of Sovereign Silver made by Natural-Immunogenics I immediately rubbed some in the spots where I was bit. I guess the combination of my much-improved immune system and the silver staved off any real bad results.

There was the typical swelling and pain the first night and the unmistakable red dot where they bit me plus the surrounding circle of strange colored skin that did not look too happy. Arthritic type symptoms and pain in the hand and a little up the arm resulted. The next day 90% of the symptoms were diminished as I kept rubbing more silver into the wound and taking it orally and the next day I was fine.

My previous experience with a brown recluse was not so nice. This was long before my health crisis and I was about 22 or so because my dad was still alive at the time. I had grabbed a suitcase from he closet and packed everything the last minute before we left. The first night in Georgia I changed into my Pj’s and turned the light off to go to sleep. Shortly after settling into bed I felt something in my pants run down my leg and a sharp pain like a mosquito had bitten me on my butt.

I jumped out of bed, turned the light on and tried to kill what ever it was while I stripped my Pj’s off. I turned my clothes inside out looking for the culprit and found some kind of squashed bug that looked like it could have been a spider. I was very tired and figured I had got it and went back to bed thinking nothing more of it.

The next day my brother wanted to play tennis. I didn’t feel too spunky but I agreed to take him on. We started playing and after warming up got a game going. As I got warmed up I seemed to be slowing down and getting tired. My legs began to cramp and my knee began to hurt although I had not injured myself in any way from the tennis match.

I had to call off the match and could barley walk back to his house from the tennis court.

He just figured I was out of shape and I felt really strange and did not know what to think. How could I go from running around to a cripple in such a short period of time with no injury?

The next day we got up early and drove to the mountains to see friends we knew from Florida who had built a nice cabin in the hills. The kids all wanted to play football and I did too but the weird pain in my knee kept me sidelined. On the way home from the mountains my brother was driving fast down the twisting turning mountain roads and I asked him to slow down. He said. Its ok, I know the roads” as he assumed I was scared. My dad asked him to slow down and he did a little bit but I was getting carsick for the first time in my life. I asked him to pull over right away and he kept driving. I told him I need air and was about to vomit all over his car if he didn’t stop. Finally he realized I was serious and stopped.

I got out and nearly lost my lunch. The mountain air and the stopping of the movement helped me regain myself. I told him that I could not take the fast driving and quick turns and I did not know why. He drove off just as fast as ever as what I said had little influence on what he did while I felt like I was getting vertigo.

So once again I told him to stop the car and he’s says, “Not again what’s your problem too much of that home made wine?” This time I got out and could not stop the internal heaving that had built up. I felt a little better but insisted I needed to drive so I can control the rate at which I could handle the decent and my dad made my brother shut up and let me drive.

The next day my knee injury got worse and I got stiff from the hip now too. I was walking like an old man the next day. We had to leave for Miami. After we got home I had my mom take me to the doctor. I could not see where the spider bit me as there was just a small red dot on my rear end but the doc knew it right away as brown recluse. A shot of antibiotics and a course of pills were immediately prescribed and I eventually recovered.

The bite was right on the sciatic nerve and the venom traveled down my leg with the activity of tennis to circulate it and most of the venom gathered in the knee and locked it up with swelling and pain was unbearable. I literally walked all stooped over dragging my leg and unable to flex it being in pain the whole time and felt like and 80-year-old man.

Keep sovereign silver handy and rub it in the wound immediately should this ever happen to you. Remember, the recluse is just that, a recluse. It loves hiding inside clothes, in drawers or in old suitcases in the closet that are not completely zipped up. They run from you but if you disturb them they sting you first.

Nature makes a fruit called Noni and if you have some fresh you rub it in the would and drink the juice and it would do the trick as well but not everyone has or can keep fresh Noni on hand like you can keep a bottle of Sovereign Silver in your medicine cabinet.
