Last Saturday we were sitting on the raised deck at LSL listening to the band and my wife got bit on the back of the leg by a spider. On Sunday it made a large 2" red mark that swelled up. We put on ice, and later cortisone and she took Benadryl for the itch. On Tuesday when it wasn't getting any better we went to the doctor and he said that is that right treatment and to just keep doing what you're doing. The swelling went down by Thursday and the red mark is almost gone after 8 days.
