William Durban the specialist at UMass Memorial Medical Center told the Donovans they were right to bring Cailin to him otherwise things could have been worse dr. Durban confirmed that her dark purple bite signaled cell injury he added she had a very distinctive bite which was very scary for her parents and of course the doctors - most victims of Black Widow bites recover without serious complications but medical attention should be sought out so the anti-venom serum can be administered although Cailin is feeling better after taking the antibiotic and is making a speedy recovery as a precaution Christine Donovan plans to spray around her house hoping to kill any venomous spiders that may remain Josh and Christine are also warming other parents to be aware of dangerous insects lurking in backyard if you suspect that you've been bitten by a spider it's important to get professional help immediately this can prevent serious injury illness and even death the one thing Kristine Donovan hopes everyone will take away from her story is that parents should always listen to their intuition when they think something's wrong with their child she said that parents should just trust their instincts if you feel something doesn't look right just keep going to the doctor to find out what it is whether it's a spider bite or another illness make sure you trust your instincts it could save your child's life some other poisonous spiders can be found in North shaaka one of the more common is the brown recluse spider that are most active in the warmer months they usually spend their time in dark places like the Black Widow their bites differ from black widows because their venom destroys the walls of blood vessels near the bite sometimes causing a large skin ulcer the wound can take months to heal and can become infected and although deaths are rare it can occur the black house spider likes to dwell in dry places they hide in small spaces in the house like window frames in bricks or on toilets their bite is poisonous but not lethal it is very painful and can cause sweating muscle pains headaches and giddiness you should definitely see a doctor if you think you've been bitten by one thank you for watching this fantastic story please tap one of the two videos on your screen for another amazing extreme trend story
