First, I used peroxide to clean the outside of the wound. I applied iodine and liquid magnesium- which created itching for my so . I added Manuka honey to the charcoal and baking soda mix, and applied. The swelling, itching and redness reduced to 1/3 of the size within an hour.
Activated Charcoal, Turmeric, Sea Salt Paste
★★★★★
I am a soap maker and know that other treatments do in fact work with other issues. I came across several articles with plenty of remedies. By my experience and items on hand, I chose to make a paste to include activated charcoal.
I mixed 1/8 cup water, 1 tablespoon activated charcoal, 1 tablespoon of dead sea salt, and a little less than 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric.
I used a gauze pad and inserted about a tablespoon of the mixture in the middle and folded the gauze. Applied the gauze directly to the bites. It burned a little from the salt, but more bearable than the pain from the bite. I changed out the dressing after about 4 hours. The second dressing stayed on over night. The bite with the small opening responded best, of course that's the one that I also applied some of the paste directly on my skin. In between the dressings, I noticed that particular bite was forming a hard knot under the skin (which is why I added more paste).
By morning, most of the swelling is gone and the knot has also gone away. The other two bites are still sore and a little swollen so I will continue the process. They still have no direct opening, which is great due to the fact that normally they should be showing signs of infection coming out. The pain is definitely tolerable. I'm not sure if the small opening or me putting the paste directly on the bite with the worst symptoms made the difference in the healing. I would not recommend opening a bite for healing. I can live with the extra time and less complications to just keep applying the paste. I have definitely been amazed by some of the natural remedies that I have tried. This one possibly saved my hand from what could have happened. Two bites on my hand and one on my foot.

I've now started applying poultice once a day and adding lavender oil to help heal the area and the reaction my skin has had to the bandaids I've used to keep the poultice in place.

All that was left was to exfoliate the damaged skin with black soap & a gentle scrubber and then apply coca butter after drying. These natural cures are wonderful. God really knew what He was doing when He placed them here for us. If it had not been for these cures. This accident would have gotten much worse & would have been dragged out to at least 8 to 10 weeks instead of the 2 weeks I endured.
My thanks goes out to Earth Clinic (folk remedies) for this wonderful & valuable information.

Goldenseal Poultices
★★★★☆
I immediately put a GOLDENSEAL poultice on the area which was my cheek on the right side of my face. After that dried possibly 2 hours later I washed that off and made a poultice of salt with jojoba oil.
Added clay poultices, but now am doing mostly ACTIVATED CHARCOAL, GOLDENSEAL AND IN BETWEEN CBD OIL TO CALM THE HEAT AND FEED NUTRIENTS TO THE SKIN FOR HEALING, BUT THEN GOLDENSEAL DOES THIS ALSO. It continues to be hot and red is spreading after 9 days.
The bite site has gone from a golf ball size to a large pea. There is a tiny seepage pin holes from the bite area, but no breakage of the skin. My friends tell me it looks good and not to worry. I've been doing the poultices 24/7 and will continue until the red and bite site are completely gone. I never had any physical problems. Not even chills, but then I'm in good shape, my immune system is really strong, I'm not eating any sugar, white flour or fast food. Lots of fruit and veggies. No dairy or meat. I drink organic Ashwagandha and green tea.
Honey, Coconut Oil, Cayenne + Poultice
★★★★★
I went home and mixed up my wound healing cream of equal parts honey and coconut oil probably two tablespoons each. I broke open three capsules of cayenne added 5 grams of msm powder and mixed it all together.
This by itself is an absolutely incredible pain reliever and healer for cuts, scrapes, open sores etc. but I knew she needed a drawing actor so I broke open five capsules of activated charcoal and mixed it in. went over and applied it.
The pain immediately subsided and she said within thirty minutes the black streaks started coming back down her arm. She healed up in a couple of weeks, and crazy enough, another man bought her house and was bitten by a brown recluse five years later, I saw him limping and he had a necrocious patch three inches across his calf I made the same formula and he also healed quickly. Also works on scorpion bites and other spider bites.
Manuka Honey
★★★★★
The article lists several things for the bite including HONEY but it does not say what kind of honey. The honey every household should have on hand is the New Zealand raw Manuka honey. No other honey has what the New Zealand honey has in it, it has been known to kill even the flesh eating bacteria MRSA. Have one jar for the actual bite and one jar to eat while you are healing from the bite so it is in your bloodstream. If you can add 16 oz of fresh celery juice you make yourself with a juicer, it will kill all bacteria and viruses, has mineral salts in it that are miracle products but only survive for 24 hours. Everyone has some wonderful remedies, do as many as you can stand!
MMS, Zinc Oxide
★★★★☆
My question is now that I'm becoming more active I am still experiencing some swelling including those 2 toes and areas when active, especially when sitting or standing too long which causes some discomfort. When foot is elevated, things pretty much return to normal. What would you suggest topical product wise or something I could add when soaking my foot. I have been using a restrictive medical sock which does help. No fever or signs of infection. As I said bite sight has long healed over nicely. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi Lee S.
You can make a paste out of Baking Soda and Hydrogen peroxide. Put a bandaid on it. 2 days should be back to normal.
God Bless

Use your mms to soak your foot. 5cc sodium chlorite activated with 5cc hydrochloric acid 4 percent. Add enough water (plastic shoe box) to soak your toes for 15 minutes. Warm water.

Hi Lee, I think a blood/body cleanse would be helpful. I like the Vital Planet body cleanse is great. It does liver, lungs, skin, blood and bowel.
You need to buy 2. Each one is 2 weeks. After the cleanse on the next full moon, start a parasite cleanse. I am sure you will feel 100% better. Nebulizing hydrogen peroxide will help quite a bit since it circulates throughout the body. Blessings

Sorry to hear about the spider bite experience. What helped me with swelling like that was Bromelain enzymes on empty stomach - first in the morning and then before sleep. And after that Ichtyol black creme. Our vet's assistant recommended it, and sold it to me, bless her, as it it much more reasonably priced, and same exact product from vet.
Had to wipe it with damp paper towel, and it left skin smooth and happy. I used that creme for a week, same as the Bromelain, that gets rid of various dead tissues when taken on empty stomach.

Since the bite has already healed on the skin, (with your great treatments) It seems more likely the deeper damage may have some scaring or toxins giving you pain. I would try: increasing circulation, ( the nutmeg cure mentioned would do this) hot packs, DMSO or MSM, and mustard packs or anything that increases circulation to bring blood to area. I would also use caster oil packs to dissolve the scar tissue ( my guess is there is some there). Iodine also helps with scaring, both topically and be sure to take enough orally to help out also.

Received this remedy from my Naturopath who healed a brown recluse bite. I use it for all bites.
I put 6 drops each in a carrier oil.
- White Camphor
- Lemon
- Lavender
- Teatree

Hope this helps❤️

Here is the long of it: Slathered the entire leg and foot with straight lavender oil (read it neutralizes the gangrene affect of the venom);
Applied straight basil oil to the wound;
Applied an activated charcoal poultice over the wound and bandaged it (local clinic did give him the kit, which can and should be ordered online);
Then, I made him lie on the couch with the leg elevated, put headsets on the leg attached to my computer download and ran the rife program for brown recluse bite, one frequency at a time.
Well, the next morning the infection had gone down to his ankle. We continued this until he saw the specialist, WHO WAS STUNNED AND WANTED TO KNOW WHAT HE DID! At his follow-up appointment, a new nurse wanted to know how he healed it (it now was a localizes blister and was cut out). THE SPECIALIST SAID TO MY HUSBAND "TELL HER WHAT YOU DID. TELL HER WHAT YOU DID!!

Pinon Pitch
★★★★★
For brown recluse spider bites, we have had success using pinon pitch applied directly to the site as well. Cover lightly with a bandage so the sticky sap does not get all over everything. It will draw the venom and toxins out and then you can continue with the other items you mention until it is fully healed.
Plantain
★★★★★
Have a string of bites on my calf but, I was using Dr Christopher's salve on everything at the time so they haven't grown or spread much - only about a half inch across, at this point - but noticed some discomfort today and saw how much they'd "grown" - haven't really been paying attention to them.
Plantain's the only anti-venomous herb I have on hand so I'll powder some and make up a batch of "burn paste" using plantain instead of comfrey - it's just 1 part wheat germ oil and 1 part honey with enough powder to make a paste, applied as a thick patch and just added to it as it is consumed by the body which are the instructions for bad burns, you just keep applying over itself as the body consumes it. It's been a couple of months so I'll use that method and then clear it off and check them in a couple of days.
I thought it looked a little bit short-legged to be a brown recluse but I suppose that's because it was on its feet and walking away with its legs bent when I saw it. But I think I know where he lives! BWAAHAHA!! I was wondering if the soapy water hornet-killer trick would work on spiders so maybe I'll have a chance to find out!! Still a bit too cold to be running into spiders on the front porch, which they just seem to love for some reason...of course, the BRs don't run around in the open - being all reclusive and whatnot - but I have plenty of others that do!!
Yikes!! What a MESS! Some improvement after a day but there are much less messy ways to address the issue so won't be continuing with this mess. I'm just going to slap a big ol' homemade plantain teabag on it for tonight, followed by a plain old charcoal poultice and a couple of charcoal shots tomorrow - see what happens. No more external use of honey "mixtures"...GRRRRoss!
Change of plan...
I'm making a regular plantain salve for the bites because something new has come up...and I'm going to address that for a bit...
I had my very first earache as an adult, in my 30s or 40s - I forget which - but at that point, my brother became my superhero because he often had earaches as a kid - SOOO - right now? In my 60s? With the significant amount of discomfort I'm experiencing around the tooth bed? I swear - if I'm cutting a new set of teeth? Babies - and my own daughter - will OFFICIALLY take top billing on my list of favorite superheroes!
I remember my daughter teething - with the slobbering and biting right through those hard-as-bricks teething biscuits and what not - but I don't recall her ever crying about it. That said, I will never forget the tremendous, rottweiler-like amount of force with which she once bit my finger as we were trying to get her to sit still to have her picture taken. It certainly brought tears to MY eyes - Holy MOLY! THAT hurt!
To be clear - I have an extremely high pain threshold but, CRIKEYS!!! If that's what this is, I'm going to focus on trying to help speed up the process for a bit to get it over with!!
SOOO - plain plantain salve for the bites and regular tea with the hot used teabags to bite on is the new plan. With some dulse thrown in for good measure.
The GOOD news is - I'll soon find out if dulse really DOES "taste like bacon"!! Never used it before...I was saving it to see if I could detect any difference with an inorganic/organic calcium flush and boost to help the bone and cartilage regeneration process along...as I'm about a week into work being done on my LEFT hip which seems far more extensive than the work done on the right one - with the bone work on the left seeming to extend all the way up the back of the hip joint and about halfway down the thigh. In addition to a little simultaneous work being done on the calves of both legs - though not in the bone but, rather, something around them. Not sure if it's working on the lower leg muscles, fascia or what, but I'm pretty sure it's not the bones...at least, not at this point...
