Remember to do so in case you get bitten by a spider
Wang Haizhen, director of the dermatology department and deputy chief physician of the above-mentioned hospital, introduced that spider bites are divided into non-venomous spider bites and poisonous spider bites.

However, after being bitten by a venomous spider, there will be severe pinprick pain, skin redness, edema, local symptoms such as blisters or tissue necrotic lesions around the skin, and may also cause systemic symptoms such as liver and kidney damage, shock, and death in severe cases.
