Harvey, I feel sorry for the bugger. I tangled the thee Brown Recluse about 10 years ago and it nearly got me. For me, the critical time period was the first 16 hours and it began within minutes knocking me unconscious. I didn't end up seeing the doctor because I passed out before I could get to one. I figured I was going to live since I woke up (mostly in this dimension) almost a day later. I really can't tell you how to deal with the problem, however, I can tell you some of the things to look out for. After the immediate pain and muscle spasms subsided, the bite area turned blue, green, purple, black and not necessarily in that order. The area ached something fierce and eventually a huge chunk of tissue fell off of my arm where I was bitten. At the time, all I was putting on the bite was ZMO (a remedy from early America) and tri-antibiotic cream. If I had to do it now, I would try some silver and possibly some tea tree oil, and see if I could find someone who specializes in such things. Another thing to look out for is the advance of some opportunistic bug or illness. Some of my docs think that the spider bite may be what brought on my fibromyalgia. Sorry I can't be more help. Oh, by the way, someone is bound to tell you to use one of those stun guns. I'd advise you to stay away from that approach. From what I can understand, the shock approach is more along the lines of folklore than anything else. Hope your friend fares well, Vern
