Glad you hit that bite with the plantain poultice! 👍 If you do develop any tissue death I've heard that echinacea is very effective at stopping necrosis in rattlesnake bites. If you have any tincture at home applying some of that might not hurt. Hopefully you got all the excitement out of the way now though - enjoy your vacation!

Shade cloth has made such a difference. This is my 3rd year using it. We set 8 4x4s and ran airplane wire around the perimeter and across the garden each direction using turnbuckles and hooks. With our Spring winds we used a lot of carabiners to secure it all the way around.
I was bit on my hip by a brown recluse in my early 20's while sitting in grass. I was deathly ill for a couple of weeks, but the necrosis was the worst part. It took a full year to heal over. I got the bite while in the midwest, but I moved to Calif shortly after and found that swimming in the ocean daily made the most difference in healing. The salt water seemed to help. 40 years later I still have a half dollar purple scar! Here in the Southern plains they are very common and I just take lots of precautions inside and outdoors. Glad you're on the mend. Enjoy your vacation!!

Oh I like the wire idea! So far I'm really liking the shade cloth (sans spider bites), and may look into expanding it next year.
Your recluse encounter sounds so much worse than mine! I'm glad you were able to heal up though. Mine has been healing rather quickly, although at day 6 now, I still have purple sections across the top of my foot as well as occasional burning sensations and muscle pain. But still no signs of necrosis and the skin overall looks pretty good.

Oh man! You got a taste of that Texas heat! 🥵🔥
Sorry you had to go through that 😬 It’s brutal
Yikes, brown recluse are no joke 😱. We had them in Oklahoma really bad. Glad you’re ok.
Take care!

We are definitely getting your kind of heat this year. I'm not a fan. So you can take it back at any time. lol I love summer, but this is a bit over the top.
The brown recluse is definitely not a good time, but I'm on the mend, and no serious side affects as of Day 6. So hopefully it stays that way!
