Aranea Diadema

All spider poisons powerfully affect the nervous sys- tem. (See tarentula, Mygale, etc.) All symptoms of Aranea are characterized by pe- riodicity, and coldness, and great susceptibility to damp- ness. It is the remedy for the constitution favorable to malarial poisoning, where every damp day or place favors chilliness. Patient feels cold to the very bones. Coldness not relieved by anything. Feeling as if parts were enlarged and heavier. Wake up at night with hands feeling twice their natural size. Spleen swollen.
