Hello, my name is Dr. Susan Jewell. I this clip I am going to talk to you about one way
to neutralize some of the toxins or poisons that you get from certain bites like spider
bites that will help to neutralize the poisons right away. Now one way to do that is for
example if you got bitten by spider or an insect that has very potent toxins in them
then you are going to want to treat it straight away. And one way is to use if you don't have
anything at hand I am sure everyone has some disinfectant in the house or around or if
you carry it in your first aid kit if you go camping you should have that in there.
You can dissolve this disinfectant in some water here. And so what I have got I will
do that. Dissolve a little bit of this disinfectant in the water and then you can use this solution
to actually apply to clean the wound itself. So say example this is a spider bite and it's
really like really spreading and it's getting infected. So the first thing I need to do
is to use this water with a mixture of disinfectant and whip it over and that way at least then
you are neutralizing the toxins with a disinfectant and with the water as well and you are also
washing away all the germs so that will prevent any kind of infection. Then what you do is
you can pat it dry and to just add extra protection so you don't get infected is to rub on this
betadine as well which is a solution. It's an antiseptic that you can buy very readily
in the pharmacy drug store and it just kills a lot more germs. Or if you don't want to
use that cause that kind of stains your skin and your clothes you can get some antibiotic
cream here. Just add that on top of the bite itself to help reduce the risk of getting
it infected because you don't want to have that. It makes it more painful and will give
you more complications later on. So this is a way that you could also address certain
bites from insects or spiders that have very potent toxins.
