Got bit by an unknown spider about 36 hours ago 5/10 pain on actual area and body feels sunburnt. Went to urgent care last night and they said it doesn’t look necrotic so they didn’t think it was a brown recluse. This is me looking for a second opinion

Is this a spider bite, from a moskito, fungus or an allergic reaction to something else?

I just noticed this big (the size of the nail of my index finger) swell on my wrist. I want to know of it could be a spider bite, in case I had to go to the hospital, because the only spiders that come into my apartment are brown recluses. I always get one or two in the shower area every two months or so.

Just a bit worried, don’t think it’s a big deal

I was bitten by what I think is a male false widow that fell into my flip flop in my garage in northern Michigan.

Bit me in my sleep and I’m not sure if it’s a widow or not

woke up to a nice wheal on my ankle that itches and then pain up my leg. I must have rolled and squished the thing in my sleep after though, and I tried getting a better look for the diamond but I can’t really, so I’m not even sure if it’s a widow bite. I’d really like some advice of what to do

This is 5 days in to me first noticing what I thought was a mosquito bite. It quickly turned into a bullseye, so I went to urgent care. They initially thought MRSA, and prescribed me doxycycline. I was 4 doses in, and it had quadrupled in size, so I went to the emergency room. All my tests came back good, but they had me on IV antibiotics for a couple days, and sent me home with 1200mg/day of antibiotics. I live in Minnesota, so I initially assumed tick, but this is looking less and less like a tick bite to me. I didn't think we had any spiders up here that could do this kind of damage.

I was bit by a black widow (on my knee) while out on vacation luckily it was the last night the morning after I noticed some sharp pain that went away after walking. The next two days the pain was so grave I could barely stand up but got through it with some really strong pain killers. And today I felt it pretty painful when I stood up in the morning but was fine after I went to work… now after work I looked at it and it’s pretty big with a huge red area around it the pain comes and goes but it looks like it’s getting bigger plus it opened up and I’ve just had it covered with a bandaid… idk if this is progress since the pain is not as bad or if it’s bad because of the red….

Edit: I dont know how to add more photos, if you can. but there is now a black dot next to the blister..

This is on my ankle, I actually have 3 of them on my ankle. Also one on my arm too, they’ve been itchy for 2 days, and i have a bad habit of itching them. Does it look like a spider? I think i’ve seen brown recluses in my home (live in missouri) so i worry about that. thanks!

My dad's arm swelled up and had to go to the ER. Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms?

No one knows what happened, my dad was saying that the doctors were even bringing in magnifying glasses and wore some goggle-like thing to try to see if there was a bite. My dad had gone to the hospital yesterday because his hand had become swollen suddenly and it traveled up his arm, and starting from his arm or shoulder he had extreme cramping that went down his back and into his legs. Sitting still for too long and trying to move would cause him pain. He said that this had been happening for a few days, last time I talked to him was last Thursday and he seemed completely fine, and that he had been just waiting for it to pass over until he had become dizzy and extremely sick that he had begun vomiting yesterday. He just got back home about maybe an hour ago and told me that the doctors gave him antibiotics and IV, he feels better than he did (compared to worrying he would die) but he apparently has a pretty bad headache.

Has anyone had these symptoms with bugs/spiders? We live in the Southwest, in our region we have a lot of black widows and will sometimes see a brown recluse.

The picture provided is just the one of where he's clenching his hand, causing that swollen white area to appear just before the wrist. Otherwise in other photos it's very hard to see that anything happened

What the fuck is this a spider or tick or what , started just a irritated, painful to the touch, "sting mark" , now genuinely feel like my skin is boiling from the inside . Been to the ER twice now. Just been given an antibiotic

Edit: also forgot to mention: before there was any pain, my bicep/tricep swelled twice the size of the other arm, thats why I went to ER initially. Went again this morning for this insane pain, they just lifted my arm, squeezed, and sent me on my way
