Answer

What should I do if I think I’ve been bitten by a spider in Mallorca?

If the bite becomes unusually painful, hot, red, or starts to worsen over time, it is sensible to seek medical attention in Mallorca without delay. Take a photo of the area, note when it happened, and tell the doctor that a spider bite may be involved. Do not try to lance, squeeze, or cut the wound yourself.
