first off i have no insurance, so what im about to say is only because i couldnt afford to go to the doctor unless im sure its fatal......i have a what appears to be a swollen bite on my thigh abouve my knee....its been there for about 3 days, its red and very tender......on the 2nd day my friend said it was a brown reclue bite and that he had one once and just sliced it open and drained it every day letting out more and more puss/venom?.....then would douse it in peroxide and then rubbing alcohol.....well i sliced mine open a bit (everything steralized) and was able to get out some puss stuff and some blood too.....i doused it and did the same thing today, and only some comes out, not all of it.....its still like a hard mass under my skin and very tender, but the surrounding area isnt as red as it was b4.....b4 it was surrounded by reddened skin....has anyone ever treated a recluse bite liek this? it still hurts and im a bit scared, cuz iv heard it can rott away ur skin...
