Common symptoms are headache, drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, irritability, vision changes, nausea and vomiting, fast heart rate and chest pains. If symptoms persist, after the fresh air, proceed to the nearest emergency room for further treatment and evaluation. Call the poison center if exposed. Make sure heating stoves and fireplaces are well ventilated and flues are clean. Carbon monoxide detectors are a great investment to insure the safety of you and your loved ones.
Spiders move indoors seeking warmth.
All spiders are venomous but the most prevalent problematic spider is the Black Widow. She is black and shiny with a red hour glass marking on the underside. The red color can range from red to orange and may be an incomplete marking. If serious symptoms are going to occur, you will know within two hours from the time of the bite. Wash the site with soap and water.
