Hey Taxi could you put a dime or something like that up next to the wound so we(or at least me) could get a better idea on the size of the swelling.

Dano, Jim who???

Yea his is one of my younger brothers. We have another who moved to Las Vegas some years ago that would be Jason. Jim had to have emergency surgery for a fatty tumor that had died on Monday. I think he got lucky it could have done damage.

Not much change in the bite today it may have gone down in size a bit. Still draining. I think the draining is a good thing as the hemoglobin thats comming thru the bandages surely means its healing from the inside out. That Steroids, antibitoics and getting started on them asap.

If anyone gets bitten get help before it really gets bad, that plus low toxicity to venoms I am sure helped. But looking at pics on the web. Spider bite are n ot anything to mess with. Amazing how little toxin it takes to do that kind of damage, flesh eating toxins. Scarey stuff.

I thought so, I have known Jim for along time and think a lot of him. Where was the tumor, you talking about one of those skin bumps that cause a bit of pain?

Hope he is doing well.

I got bit several years ago by a recluse about this time of the year on the back of my calf. I had a lady shock it with a thing called a snake doctor, it is just a small taser or stun gun but made for bites. It had been 2 days and it started getting better the next couple days but I went to the doctor anyway, he put me on the predizone and antibotic and it still got worse for the next week. Once I had finished the weeks worth of medication it was worse than when I started, they even considered a form of chemo but didn't want the side effects. I think if I had it shocked a couple of days after the first one it would not have been a problem. I have sent 3 people to her that had brown bites including my wife and it only took 1 shock treatment. There iare a couple doctors in Tulsa that will use the shock.
