I agree with Terry that ice can be a great first aid for insect bites. Ice can also be used for other general first aids like rashes or a light wound. But the only true way to diagnose a spider bite is to actually see the spider bite you. If you have killed the spider after it has bitten you, please bring the spider in to a doctor to examine whether it was really poisonous or not. That helps diagnose the problem.

Luckily there are not a lot of poisonous species in Canada… I heard that there is only the black widow, which lives around Toronto, I’m freaked out just thinking about seeing one…!

But what if a tarantula bit you or the Black Widow? Sure is dreadful even just thinking about it…

If you’re in an area where poisones spiders are very common, it’s best to see a doctor immediately (provided you are unable to find – and thus identify – the spider yourself). Some bites can be very severe, and by the time you feel the symptoms you may have just lost your thumb/finger to the spider (happened to a friend of mine, so it’s definitely possible).

However, if poisoness spiders are particularly rare in your area (or non-existent, if you live in certain European countries such as Britain, France and Germany) then there isn’t need to worry until you notice definite symptoms. Often, the greatest tell-tale sign of a poisoness bite is the appearance of the bite itself. If it rapidly turns a deep shade of red (beet red is a better way to describe it) in a large, circular area around the bite and begins to swell rapidly, then don’t hesitate to go to a doctor. If the bite and/or the surrounding tissue turns another colour (blue/black or green/yellow) then seek medical attention immediately.
