Spider Warning!

The victim, a personal friend of Pioneer Pest Control, noticed something wrong when her leg was itchy after getting out of bed. When she touched the spot, she noticed it was slightly swollen and put it down to a mosquito bite.

Within a couple of hours the swelling increased and a large blister developed. She went straight off to the doctor who expressed the view that a White Tail spider could have been the culprit

The doctor cut the blister and noted that the toxins had caused the nerve to cease operating. The leg was numb in that area; there was no sensation in the area around the wound. The doctor told her if the redness travelled further up her leg she needed to head for the hospital.

The next day a second blister developed approximately one inch from the first blister which by now had redeveloped and was full of a jelly type liquid. Furthermore, the numbness had started to spread up her leg, so she headed straight for the hospital and got treatment just in the nick of time!

Avoid this painful situation by staying on top of your pest control. Our specialists can help you to prevent blisters, and numbness, or even something worse!
