Quick Answer. Symptoms of a brown recluse spider bite include minor burning, white blisters and severe pain at the bite site, followed by severe itching, nausea, vomiting, fever and muscle pain, according to eMedicineHealth. The initial bite may just look red with fang marks before healing during the next few weeks after the bite.
Most brown recluse bites heal just fine without any medical intervention or first aid. If you see it happen or suspect that you were bitten, the recommended treatment is to use RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation). Wrap the area of the bite with a compression bandage, use ice on it and elevate it.
