Are bandaids made with spiderwebs?

No, you neice is incorrect. In the olden days (back in the 1600 and earlier) Some people would stick spider webs and cloths on themselves just like bandaids, only more primitive.

here are some websites if you match the spider up to any of the pictures then just read about it but i dont think it is anything like a black (black with red hourglass shape on back) or a brown recluse because it has a huge white butt and white stripes or dots \nhttp://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dbrown%2Brecluse%26sp%3D1%26fr2%3Dsp-top%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3DFP-tab-img-t-t400%26ei%3DUTF-8%26SpellState%3Dn-1248453388_q-mmgWoC1th5cTV6Vfxa5u%2FAABAA%40%40&w=300&h=328&imgurl=www.calpoison.com%2Fpublic%2Fbrown-recluse.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.calpoison.com%2Fpublic%2Fspiders.html&size=41.3kB&name=brown-recluse.jpg&p=brown+recluse&type=jpeg&no=7&tt=5,138&ei=UTF-8

I have heard of only two poisonous spiders that live in homes.  Black widows which unless you have a serious allergic reaction to venoms, are the lease harmful.  But from the sound of it, u could have been bitten by a brown recluse which is very deadly.  These bite will not get better.  The venom will eat the surrounding tissue and eventually gangrene will set in and unfortunely ur limb is on the chopping block. :(  I would serious go to the ER and say look this could be a brown recluse bite and I need serious med attention.  I have pics from an email as a warning and what the bite looks like and the effect of that bite 9 days after it happen.  So u are welcome to email me and I'll be happy to send it to u for comparisons.  But I do agree with you your doctor should have done better.  He should have done a blood work or gotten tissue samples to determine the seriousness of the problem.  Return to the ER and be seen!!!

The doctor told me all spider bites are dangerous, stapf infcetions and such.  You need to get in to see a doctor.  You need antibiotics.  I was bit by a brown recluse and it not any fun.  I have taken care of them at home, but it takes longer to get over them.  I did what the doctor did, I lanced it and kept neosporin on it.  You really do need antibiotics though to get ove it faster.

Cobwebs are the messy, seemingly haphazard webs formed by spiders in the family Theridiidae.  The common house spider belongs in this family, as does the notorious black widow.\n\nThere are other origins for things that can seem like cobwebs.  Hunting and jumping spiders will lay single lines of silk as they wander, but these usually go unnoticed.  Many types of caterpillar also produce silk lines, and when there are many caterpillars in an area, they can get messy.  Fall cankerworm and ash leaf cone roller caterpillars can often produce noticeable amounts of messy silk strands.\n\nInside houses, mounds of dust can often accumulate, especially in corners, and bits of dust can cling together forming masses that look quite similar to cobwebs, but fall apart very quickly.  Dust with a bit of grease in it seems to be really good at forming these webby sheets of grime.\n\nThe word cobweb probably originates with the Middle English word 'coppe' which meant 'spider'.

Arachnophobia.  My mom would tape plastic spiders on the cabinets when I was a toddler to keep me out of them.  It worked!

Yes, believe it or not.  A Canadian firm has gene spliced goats to produce spider web threads in their milk.\n\nLink is attached.  If you want more of them, just use the search term\n\nspider web goat milk

Also, you can look to see if there is one puncture wound or two.   one, being the tounge of the misquite and the two puncture wounds being spider fangs.\n\nMy solution for itching: make a paste out of baking soda and water, and apply it to the ichy area.  it is short term relief, but it does help.

In order to climb a vertical surface there must be enough places for the spider's feet to latch onto.  Glass has very few rough spots, which makes it very difficult for a spider to scale without using a web.

here is an excerpt from the following source:\n\nhttp://chemistry.about.com/b/a/000855.htm?terms=spider+silk\n\n\nHollow nanofibers spun from a carbon/polymer composite are tougher than Kevlar, steel, or spider silk. 'Toughness' is a term used to describe the ability of a substance to absorb mechanical energy before breaking. Go to Science News to read their article on the nanotubes.

Neosporin and a band aid.

If it has been two days since you were bitten and there are no problems showing up you have\nnothing to worry about.  While almost all (not all)\nspiders have venom most of them have little or\nno effect on vertebrate animals, the poisons are\nadapted to kill insects and other invertebrates.\n\nYour description of the spider does not contain\nenough information to identify it.  One of the most\ncommon spiders shaped like a black widow is the\ncommon comb-footed house spider Achaearanea\ntepidariorum.  It is harmless.\n\nFor information on spider bites in general, with\nspecial reference to brown recluses, but also\nmentioning others, see an article titled "Bites of\nbrown recluse spiders and suspected necrotic\narachnidism" by D.L.Swanson and R.S.Vetter\nin New England Journal of Medicine, vol. 352,\npages 700-707, Feb. 2005.
