I was under the impression that wolf spiders jump. They also bite and leave a huge welt. They also eat mosquitos so don't kill it

I got bit by something......
At work....right below the knee. Caused a golf ball sized lump to appear in no time. I never felt the bite, only noticed the lump on my knee when I sat down So now I'm in a Benadryl haze.... I've been asleep for a little over 2 hours Benadryl really put me to sleep I work at a Hospital, so many doctor's looked at it - they told me to have a doctor look at it They said you will definitely feel the bite of a recluse spider They said to keep an eye on it for the next 3 days. Any sign of redness or infection go back & have it looked at again Just very weird to sit down & notice a golf ball sized lump on your knee A lot of the swelling has gone down. I would go in the Hot tub to soak. but they said avoid heat |

I would avoid the hot tub. That is where Kurt03 got his pic of his spider.

Ummmm....No you wont. It feels like any other moderately painful bug bite. However, you will know what it was in a couple of days as the wound starts getting bigger n bigger. It keeps growing for about 2 weeks and mine came with a nasty infection. Here's what mine (a very mild bite) looked like after 3 days:

well like above all spiders are venomous but there are different levels of toxity (spelling?) I believe the only sp. of spider in N. America you have to worry about is the recluse and black widow. The only spider i would really be afraid of is the most venomous the wandering spider, there are reports of them actually attacking you and chasing you.but my brother got bit by a recluse between the toes and he said it just itched. I have seen some real bad ones. But we have a lot of recluse and black widows out at my house. But we live on 80acres so thats why. On a "good" day I find about 4 female black widows in our brick pile. I have caught a red widow and kept it. But it got out and is living in our house

Thanks for the laugh Shanna!!!
Okay, aren't we all going to have a somewhat different reaction to a spider bite, or a bug bite even??? Christy...
