Brown spider bites can present with major ramifications and hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used as one of the therapeutic interventions for this condition. The problem with its use is that HBOT is normally only deployed 2 to 6 days following the bite, due to the extensive time involved in diagnosing many of these bites.

Impaired blood flow is one of the hallmarks of diabetes, leading to many severe complications, including but not limited to ulcers and open wounds. When high blood sugar is also involved in the wound process, as is the case with many diabetics, then hyperbaric oxygen should be immediately looked at and deployed <view study> Read Less
