spider bite response

When a spider bites, the body reacts through localized pain, redness, and swelling at the site as blood vessels dilate and immune cells respond to the venom. The venom may cause additional symptoms like itching, muscle cramps, or more severe reactions if it’s from a dangerous spider. The body's immune system works to neutralize the venom and repair tissue damage. Usually, symptoms improve with basic care such as cleaning the bite, applying ice, and taking pain relievers. In some cases, medical attention may be needed if there's intense pain, allergic reactions, or signs of infection.
