Notice the chronic wound of a brown recluse spider bite.

This wound is over 2 years old and never healed in spite of multiple attempts with antibiotics. The wound had a chronic drainage and was very painful to touch. The pain was so intense that the patient was forced to take blood pressure medication to control the hypertension caused by pain

Within 3 hours after electric shock, the drainage had stopped. Within 1 week the patient was able to stop her blood pressure medicine as the pain was gone.

Patient has been lost to follow up as she is in another part of the state.

FWIW, the major irritation of my bite was an itching sensation. The itching seems to have gone away now. The swelled area also seems to have shrunken back such that the swollen area is no longer raised as high relative to the rest of the skin.
