Bite progression from a deadly Ank Spider

This is what an Ank Spider bite looks like right after it happened. One of the trickiest things about this spider is that its bite doesn't look so bad at first. It will progress quickly so if you get any bite watch it closely. You will need to get to the hospital in the next six hours or risk having your limb amputated or death!

At this stage you definitely need to go to the hospital. If you are bleeding this badly you need to go immediately!

This is a picture of one of the non survivors. When he finally came to my clinic it was to late. He was bitten in one of two common places. He was bitten on the wrist.

This is the kind of needle used to inject penicillin and antivenum. If bitten, you will need fifteen shots at the place where bitten. Including all of the other shots that are needed.

The Deadly Ank Spider is commonly found in Monterey, California.
