bite from this spider can take a long
1:55
time
1:56
sometimes it takes months for the wound
1:58
to fully heal the longer that the wound
1:59
remains open the higher the chance of

infection and if the wound becomes
2:03
infected you may need surgery to remove

2:08
so powerful that it can cause severe

to remove the dead tissue and to prevent
2:31
the spread of infection after the
2:33
surgery you'll need to receive
2:35
antibiotics to prevent the wound from
2:37
becoming infected you'll also need to be
2:40
monitored for signs of infection if the
2:42
wound does become infected you may need
2:44
additional surgery the healing process
2:47
can take a long time and it can also be
