[QUOTE="Kymura, post: 56720, member: 4072"] We do have to be aware of the issue with possible secondary infections, they can lie semi dormant then rampage quickly throughout your system with devastating results. Lost my sister two years ago to sepsis and my mother less then a month ago. Again, sepsis that they somehow 'missed' I'm not however an alarmist, cat bites can and do, do the same thing but I'm [B]not [/B]getting rid of my cats or my arachnids. Any puncture wound from a source such as spider fangs can and often will cause a serious infection, Best bet is be aware and take precautions. Scrub the wound well and use a topical antibiotic, [I]then keep using it!![/I] You want the wound to stay soft and open for any drainage of possible infection. And '[B]if[/B]' you have any signs of infection take your a$$ to the doctor :p Common sense folks, we are supposed to be smarter then the spiders are ! I would honestly think most keepers should have researched this already? [I]basic treatment link below[/I] [url]http://www.desertusa.com/insects/tarantula-bite-treatment.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
