David, How would you go about treating a brown recluse bite that happened in November? The wound won't heal, and now this individual is having unexplained rashes on legs, hands, arms, and feet as well as daily bouts of severe ear, head, and neck pain she believes are all related to the bite. Medical system is sending her to wound care, skin biopsies, and MRI. Where would you start? Especially with it being an "old" bite. I read about your experience in the Materia Medica using Echinacea, Plantain, and Wild Indigo both topically and orally for brown recluse bites. This person does have an autoimmune condition...Hashimoto's. Any thoughts and guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you:) Jami Platt

David said: [...and neck pain she believes are all related to the bite.] Possibly, but also possibly not, where was the bite? I would use what it says in the MM, it has been very successful treating brown recluse spider bites.

David, The bite is on her calf. Thank you for the recommendation:) Jami

David said: it is still possible her neck pain has something to to do with the bite, but the fact it was on her calf, makes it less likely
