Can you build up immunity to a spider bite?

Can you build up immunity to a spider bite? I have been bitten by a brown recluse 7 times. The first time was the worst, because i didnt know what it was. Then when i learned to recognize the signs i caught it all the other times before it got worse and got it treated. I got bit a few days ago and the thing is almost gone already, no oozing stuff, no dying skin, no boil. I haven%26#039;t gotten antibiotics or put any medicine on it. I am sure its a brown recluse bite because it started the same way as the others. Is it possible that i have built up an immunity to the poison or something?

Immunity happens as human evolves or being passed down from your ancestors. There is a specific pattern in your DNA that allows your body to be immune. However, probability is 1 in billions.

The only way to completely healed the wound is anti-venoms. However, based on your description, your particular diet and lifestyle may have to do with the whole recovery process, other than that, its either you mistaken the spider- it maybe of similar size and pattern, but of different species. Or it may be of pure luck that you are one of them.

• Well, when bitten by the brown recluse, the body produces an immune response (a reaction by the immune system). When the victim is bitten it releases inflammatory agents-histamines, cytokines, and interleukins. This recruits and signals white blood cells. It is possible that your white blood cells are becoming faster each time you are bitten. 0% 0 Votes
• my uncle was bit by a black widow 5 times (within a couple years or so, not like all at once)doing some work around his house. the first time it wasnt bad at all, but by the 5th time he spent 3 days in ICU. the doctors were totally dumbfounded as to why he got WORSE with every bite instead of getting better.
  they seemed to expect him to build some kind of immunuty to it, but i know he did not. so i dont know wat the norm for that is.
  
  dunno if i helped at all, but thats all i got for ya. sorry 0% 0 Votes
