MMS quickly stopped my Brown Recluse bites. We’re not supposed to have Brown Recluse spiders here so I thought the two bites on my leg were something else. At first they were like chigger bites but I know we don’t have those. The bites started out small and grew daily. Very itchy. On about the 2d day, I tried MMS on one of them and the next day it had stopped itching and had scabbed over. I waited a couple more days on the second bite. It got progressively worse and grew bigger daily until the affected area was about 3/4 of an inch in diameter and it was looking especially bloody and nasty so I put MMS on it and—same thing, next day it no longer itched and it was scabbed over. In about a week, it was all healed up but after about a month there was still a large red mark like you have for some time after a serious injury. The first bite has a red mark too but much smaller. I looked for spiders. They come out at night to hunt so first thing in the morning and before turning on the lights, I went around with a flashlight. I found one right away. They are different than spiders I’m used to and much smaller and delicate than I thought they would be. They don’t have 8 eyes in front of their heads, only 4 and two way back on the sides of their “head”, but their head is fused with their thorax or chest so you might say these two eyes are on the sides of their chest or thorax. Although just tiny bumps, these two eyes are quite easy to see if you get up close and from what I’ve read they positively identify the spider as a Brown Recluse. I used 3 drops of 25% MMS mixed in with 3 drops of a citric acid solution along with 3 drops of DMSO which is supposed to carry the MMS into the tissue. I added about 6 drops of water then I dipped in a finger and applied it to the bite. MMS this strong will burn if left too long so I wiped it off with a wet cloth in about a minute. It stung a little at first but not that bad. Next day I made a similar application although it didn't seem to be necessary. Apparently the MMS neutralized the venom. According to Humble’s MMS book it also neutralizes rattle snake venom.
