Jul 2019

with brown recluse. I am lucky that I have only a very small reaction to their bite. A good friend research doctor told me several years ago to put a pin hole in a CoQ 10 capsule and rub a little of the oil from the capsule several times a day. I had never seen a brown recluse until that year when it seems I got an infestation in my horse barn. I have been bitten several times and each time I have seen the spider so I know what it was. I followed his advice and so far I have had a little pain, the bullseye and only a small ulcer. If I did not now know that I don't react badly I would use that then go to the doctor but I know that I am probably ok. Use it for comfort but after your reaction this time I think going to the ER will always be a good idea. This is something that it's excellent on a burn. Pain is gone soon and never a blister. YMMV glad you are ok.
