[pct-l] spider bites.

[Georgi Heitman]

If not attended to by good professional medics and strong antibiotics, a
spider bite can be an extremely serious problem....  A hiker from 2006 might
weigh in on his experience if he's on this list.  And if the antibiotics
don't get started w/in a short amount of time following the bite...the
person with the bite will be pretty darn sick, ie., high temp, diarrhea,
dehydration, the list can go on and on, even after the meds are started.
That person should NEVER be left to deal w/ this problem alone.
