Good to hear you are ok. This past weekend, I was working on a PTO shaft for the tractor and happen to look inside shield right next to the coupler that connects to the tractor and there was a black widow. I feel very lucky I happend to have seen the spider before sticking my hand there to hook it to the tractor.
This was all very strange because I had just had a dream the night before about the black widow spider I had killed a year earlier in the shed.

Glad everything turned ok. There were three of us that got spider bit at Summerville last summer. None of us knew we were bit until a few days later and a large knot (golf ball size) developed. My son had called and said his girl friend and another friend had been to the doctor for spider bites and I told him I was at the doctor with one too. We had all been sitting at the same picnic table the night before we left and figured that was the common denominator. Everybody was bit on the bottom of the forearm were your arm would rest on the table. No one remembered getting bit probably just figured an ant or bug when it happened. All the bites had to be cut out and drained for a couple weeks with antibiotics. Have no idea what kind of spider. Been in the woods all my life and never nothing like this. No one got sick just a nasty bite.
