Hubby just came in the house to show me something. He's been cleaning out the garage all afternoon and managed to get himself bit by a spider just below his thumb on the top of his hand.
He said it was a small brown spider with spindly legs, but he doesn't think it's a brown recluse. It swelled up in seconds and he said it feels "tingly". If there's any change within the next hour I'm making him go to the ER.
Unfortunately, the spider is no longer available for identification. Hubby smashed it flat when it bit him.
