Spider bite while pregnant

Hello all, I recently got a spider bite when I am 18 weeks pregnant. I panicked at first but did some internet research and found a little helpful hints.  I called the doc and he said as long as I did not have a fever, chills or naseua, I would be fine. Of course that did little to ease my discomfort.  So I fell back to an old wives tale remedy. Potatoes. The starch will draw out the toxins.  Cut a silver dollar size tater and band-aid it to the bite overnight. The swelling will go way down. Lots of cortizone and some tylenol. Stay calm.
