Grab an over-the-counter antihistamine. Something like Benadryl. It calms down the histamine party happening under your skin. That angry red spot will thank you.

Use a paste of baking soda and water. Mix a dollop of each. Smear it on the bite. Let it dry for fifteen minutes. It sucks out the venom like a tiny superhero. Okay, it doesn’t really suck it out. But it soothes the itch.

Only two spiders in North America are medically serious: the black widow and the brown recluse. They are rare. You are more likely to be struck by lightning while eating a hot dog. Seriously.

Brown recluses have a fiddle shape on their back. Black widows have a red hourglass. Neither spider wants to meet you. They’d rather hide in the garage and eat ants.
