hmmmm This could be a medical condition called LOXOSCELISM. A condition that results from bites from poisonous spiders.....yes poisonous spiders are rare in Nigeria. Following the bite the skin area becomes itchy and reactive becoming very red in colour and paiful (inflammation). Later the skin tissue starts to die (dermonecrosis) due to the venom released there in, change to black colour and begin to fall off leaving a big sore (ulcer). There is no cure available yet, but treatment may include pain relief, antibiotics if infection is present, blood giving agents, and surgery to remove the dead tissues. There is also an anti venom available but it has to be administered within 12 hours for it to be effective |

ChelseaDr: u mean no cure, after bite how long before the symptoms start? |
Re: Whats The Name Of This Sickness? by ChelseaDr(m): 5:26pm On Jul 08, 2015 |
ritababe: There is no cure in the sense that the disease will just go through its natutal course and with adequate supportive care it will go or subside on its own. It could take up to 3 months or more. Symptoms usually starts within hours of the bite. First with painful redness around the area of the bite within one hour. The size of the redness and pain worsens with time and by the second day there will be obvious swelling of the affected limb/part. Assuming the bite was on the foot, by the second day there will be swelling of the leg and within 3 to 5 days the whole leg up to the thigh will be swollen while the colour starts changing to black and the skin around the bitten area begins to die off. Within two weeks the dead skin starts falling off forming a dirty sore (ulcer). This will continue to eat the skin forming more sores. However with good care including surgery to remove the dead skin and skin grafting healing can occur within 3 to 5 months. 1 Like 1 Share |
