Wolf Spider Bite Symptoms
Wolf spiders are shy and if disturbed can move very quickly. If they feel they're in danger they will bite. The spider's venom is poisonous but is not lethal.
If bitten, which is extremely rare, the bite can be very painful or cause itchiness. Symptoms can include swelling, prolonged pain, dizziness, rapid pulse and nausea. It's recommended that the victim should try to avoid any movement. An ice pack should be placed on the wound to reduce swelling. The victim should seek medical attention immediately especially if they are a child or are elderly.
Bite Prevention Tips
* Give your clothes and footwear a shake before putting them on.
* Check towels and your bedding before using them.
* Tape up boxes fully to make sure spiders can't enter them.
* Items that are loose that are stored in the attic, basement, or garage should be kept in plastic bags.
* Gloves are recommended when handling wood and rocks. Of course, check them too before putting them on!
* Under your bed there should be no clutter. Plus bed skirts should be removed.
* Beds are best to be moved away from walls.
* To prevent spiders from entering your home, seal up cracks.
* So that spiders can't feed on dead insects, it's best to remove them as soon as possible.
This lesion was produced by the bite of a brown recluse spider. The brown recluse is one of two common spiders in the United States considered poisonous. (The other is the black widow.)
However, the hobo spider, wolf spider, and jumping spider can also produce bites that require medical attention.
