Message: <blockquote data-quote="_CY_" data-source="post: 1589698" data-attributes="member: 7629">very good info if it actually works... hmmmm Ben Gay and Heet ~~~~~~~~~~~Whenever a patient would come to his office with a definitive Brown Recluse bite (they had the spider with them) or after he was able to diagnose it, he would treat them with a Nitroglycerin patch.The way he came to understand this was described to me in the following mannar. He told me, “Roy I was seeing a patient who had a bite on his arm and I was looking at it under my scope. I looked at it and then raised up. It was then that I felt that God was telling me to take another look at it, so I did. When I looked at the bite again I suddenly saw the vessels spasming, constricting from the poison. I thought OK, Hmm. It is a vasoconstrictor, what I need is a vasodialator. A nitroglycerin patch!” Dr. Burton told me that if he hadn’t looked at exactly when he did at the bite he might never have seen it spasming and he never would the idea have come into his brain to try the nitroglycerin patch.He used this treatment for several years and finally wrote it up in the New England Medical Journal. However, most Doctors have never even heard of this treatment. Here is a link to his writings on exactly what he did to treat this potentially very destructive bite.<a href="http://classic-web.archive.org/web/20060420183312/http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Forest/2021/recluse/intro.html" target="_blank">http://classic-web.archive.org/web/20060420183312/http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Forest/2021/recluse/intro.html</a>Dr. Burton told me as well that it would probably be possible to treat this bite with something as simple as a liniment or something like Ben-Gay or HEET as they are all vasodialators. I don’t know if that would work as I’ve never had reason to try it, but it may be worth studying.</blockquote>
