 If it was a recluse you need to get that looked at. Can become necrotic 
 He will get sick and have fever and chills but if I suggested antibiotics then y’all all will start attacking me so best I leave it. They’re not deadly but theyre not harmless either. If you have severe fever, nausea and vomiting you can go to ER. 
 Antibiotics only work against bacteria, not spider bites. Antibiotics also do not work against viruses. Over using antibiotics, especially improperly, is the cause of the creation of bacteria with immunities to antibiotics, such as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). 
 MRSA is an old and obese disease, @mcshane has a male model body. The chances of him getting it are unlikely. The correct antibiotic for this type of infection that a physician will prescribe him tomorrow when he gets worse is called ‘Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (SMZ-TMP)’ if  that’s not available in whichever area he’s in they may give him augmentin or penicillin and a steroid shot
He can avoid the chills and nausea tonight by simple 2 ibuprofen and clean the wound with alcohol swabs from mckesson then put bacterim on ( don’t cover the wound) drink orange juice, eat fruits, get emergency (vitamin c)  do all that you can preventive care so you don’t have to go to the doctor tomorrow or take antibiotics 

Whatever you do today is your tomorrow 
 what if I just cook a steak and rub some grapplers soap on it 
 How did you know what kind of spider it was? They will ask you at the er to show a picture. We ask patients to show us pictures of snackes and spiders that bite them to prescribe correct medicine 
 And you can eat whatever you want as long as you keep your immunity high. Beef may not help with immunity but I know fruits do. If you don’t like fruits take men’s health multivitamin one daily it has all the nutrients fruits have. 
I don’t know what grapplers are but you shouldn’t rub anything on that will spread the poison to your arm. Just go to cvs get  bacterim or something similar. If you are in wilderness and  don’t have anything then just get dial antibacterial soap and wash your wound atleast twice tonight with it. Keep it open and clean with dial soap 🧼 
 Open clean and dry 
 It doesn’t look too serious 🧐 I’m hoping you will get better by tomorrow. Sending you prayers and kisses 😘 
 i’m looking at it. this is a battle of will at this point. irish blood remains undefeated 
 You probably should get that looked at, if you start vomiting.
