Wow, that’s pretty scary.

When it was diagnosed as MRSA, did it have anything to do with the spider’s bite itself? I mean, do these spiders harbour those bacteria?

Thanks for the input.

MY wife had been bitten twice on one leg each within two weeks of another.Nasty wound is an understatement.She will forever have scars on each leg that are the size of half dollars.
She had thought she had been bitten on her stomach which the local hospital had misdiagnosed for a month.it was then they decided to do a biopsy after it had colonized into four groups.
She had to undergo intravenous treatments that consisted of three hours in the morning and three hours in the evening for one week for treatment of MRSA.A very nasty procedure when if caught early,a pill would have taken care of the problem.
The treatments were given in the emergency room of all places.
Many nurses have had it and they say it comes wit the job.
PS,when the wife was first bit,
we tore the house apart.We did anything and everything short of poisoning ourselves.
To no avail.
We tore the hose apart completely remodeling from top to bottom.
No work.
As I type,I have six bites under my armpit.Not to brag,our house is immaculate and I have become the bug Special Forces in our house.My next option is to line our closets with ceder.If anyone has a better idea,We would appreciate it.
PS,We live in West Texas,Thanks and sorry for the long spiel.

Had a quack doctor who initially diagnosed it as a spider bite as she already had two.Treated the spot on her stomach as past history.I spent a lot of time researching myself and found that when MRSA left untreated,tends to colonize.She had four spots on her stomach after one month of treatment before they did biopsies.Instead of a good diagnosis at first where she could have taken pills to combat the infection,It turned into three days in the morning for drips,three hours after work for another one.Veins collapsing,for one week.And she continued working.Pin this shot,all were given in the ER!!I am not a smart man,but if in a serious accident,would not want to be exposed to that situation.PS,ALL MRSA patients were treated there.Scenario,bad car accident,taken to ER,where that is prevalent.Do you trust them???HELL NO>
