@Cridders88 @Bookworm @ChadCoxRox Well the swelling has gone down and seems to look better where I was bit. Still unsure but will keep an eye on it since the area around the bite can turn into a bit of a crater, so I'm just playing it by ear. Not painful, just a bit sore at the bite area, so I'm beginning to have my doubts it was a brown recluse....but that was probably the largest area I seen get swollen by any insect bite (yes I know spiders aren't technically insects, I don't care lol).
@Karl Rand Yep the Redback and America's Black Widow spiders are closely related...and have similar effects if you get bit by one. Fortunately I've not seen one in a very long time. Getting bit by one of those is a trip to the ER.
