There are shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, vomiting. Can be fatal. If you are bitten by a spider with a red dot, immediately have someone call the ambulance: without introducing protivokarakurtnoy serum for life no one could guarantee. Inparallel, until the arrival of the doctors, give yourself first aid. To do this, suck blood from the wound and spit it.
