Sorry, this is an old thread and I don’t have an answer but, I live in Wisconsin and woke up with a bite. Actually two bites one above the other so 4 holes total and each was about a half centimeter from the other in an almost perfect square. I have had this bite for over two years now, the area is still red and inflamed and itchy. It is so itchy tho i have tried to burn it off with red hot nails, I have used every kind of salve and bug ointment (did that first of course), I recently tried to blister off the affected area with numerous wart freezing applications and acid. It heals back and is horribly itchy still. I ask my Dr. every visit, I see him tri monthly because I take a ADD med. He just shrugs and says bug bites will eventually go away. It itches so bad! It’s seriously frustrating.
Hi all! I found this article, gives decent explanation to why it isn't well known, and why they haven't studied it.
Hope it helps! I cannot say for certain that a brown recluse killed my brother, but he did have necrosis and problems with healing, as I found a letter stating he was bitten on the ankle, he calls his brown recluse scar a trophy scar. But it could have led to the break down of his health over time.
Try the remedy in this article if you get a chance. Apparently it's easy to obtain and it makes sense.
Anyways, God bless y'all - hope it helps. Play it forward and spread the word if you have the opportunity. If it saves a life, or prevents further trouble. Don't not tell your physician doctors. Tell them. Or ask them.

Hello I’m a 49 yr old male and I was bit by either wolf or recluse spider on the top of my foot 5 yrs ago. Every year about summer time it flares up and begins itching and then of course blisters. Has anyone found any permanent cures for this? It’s hard to believe in with the advances in medicine there’s no permanent cure???
You describe! what I go through each year! I too use Acyclovir 800 mg Iburophen 800. My Dr. thinks I have shingles.I am going through it right now 5/25/16, last outbreak was 9/2015. That's why I am researching. I cant recall getting a spider bite. been occurring once or twice a year and can't figure out what triggers it. Started spring of 2007. I am 44 year old male.
I get a reoccurring area of infection around one to two times a year. I too was bitten on the forehead by a spider, but it was 25 years ago! it is swollen with small blistery spots and itches. My providers have usually treated it like it is a viral type reaction by giving me acyclovir oral and topical. it usually affects my eyes with a severe pain. I notice some fatigue as well and my immune system is usually down. I would love to have an answer to this issue. did the cleocin work for you?
Hello, It has been 5 years since my bite. My bite was on my forehead next to my hair line and if I get a sun burn it reactivates the symptoms (swelling, blisters, itching, glands swelling). I was wondering if the were more people with the same problem. I went to the doctor today and she put me on Cleocin 300mg 4x's a day. I sure hope this works. This is getting old.
Hi, I was bitten by a spider when I was in Belize, Central America. I was given an antihistamine injection which took away swelling to my face. This was about ten years ago and I still get recurring blisters every couple of months which are really itchy and sore. I thought it was a fungal infection. I showed a doctor who didn't know what it was, however I have recently read that the brown recluse spider bite displays these symptoms.
Hello,
I can understand your concern. It is very surprising for a spider bite to present so long after the bite. I would advise a biopsy of the effected skin or culture of the fluid from the blisters to be done. During pregnancy most of the medications are contraindicated and hence diagnosis needs to be confirmed first before any line of treatment is decided.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
