Be careful. I thought I was, didn't even see a spider, or realized that I was bit. Saw this hours after coming inside from cleaning our pool cover.
The next day it started getting hard, itchy and a little purple. The ER doc said it really looked like it was from some kind of spider.
20 hours in the Hospital. IV of 2 antibiotics, steroid and morphine.
DO NOT WAIT.
I was told if the swelling area gets bigger than 2" diameter, seek help.
Mine ended up being 6" while I was in ER.

Good grief, Linda! The bite looks very angry. That must have been a close call! I am glad you are much improved.
