Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Becky, Everybody may not agree with this, in fact some may be totally against it. but soak it in the kitchen sink 3/4 full of very warm (not too hot) water with a 1/4 cup of Clorox bleach in it. If you don't want to go the bleach route, put in a 1 cup epsom salt & a 1 cup baking SODA. Use regular salt if you don't have epsom. Either way this should draw out the poison, assuming it was a poisonous spider. And if you start feeling sick you probably need go to the emergency room. Let me know, Gaye Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks. ~Charles Dickens~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 Soak it in warm water with epsom salts. Make some Total Tonic and start taking it right away.
