Please help me identify this spider, not sure if this is the one that bite me but it’s been a week and my foot is really swollen still
Possibly Olios giganteus, a harmless spider.
Maybe you were exposed to a bite from a Loxosceles sp. spider if your leg is swollen and it hasn’t gone down after a week.
I might question a spider bite at all. Any unknown injury like this, you might go to a clinic and have the injury examined.
Also, any bite from Sparassidae family, reports are not as bad as a bee sting, in spite of their size.
@SwolenLeg Like Dan said, please go to your doctor or a clinic to have it checked. It could be a blood clot or infection. Any insect or spider bite or sting can put microbes into your body that can become an infection. Spider vemon is not a likely cause of the swelling. It could be something more dangerous. We aren’t medical professionals, this is just advice from our own knowledge. 🙂
I was thinking the brown recluse or black widow spider, swelling is mostly gone now, lack of health insurance so I’m hoping it will heal. Naturally
