next time you get bit by a spider, go to the ER immediately.

FYI: It wouldn't have made much difference. Infection isn't what caused the wound...

But, yeah, sure, why not...

And so on the bright side, it was only two weeks - I did mention being really sick...

Yeah, that looks like the results of a brown recluse or black widow bite.

We aren't Australia. Only two to worry about. The aforementioned Brown Recluse and the Black Widow.

I would think if those are the only 2 and you think it's a recluse, then get thee to the doctor posthaste!

I would think that any spider bite from your area would be viewed as a necessary medical check.

Never mind that it is for medicines taken orally.

Or rectally, but it works best with diarrhea.
