I received a (spider?) bite yesterday
Wasn't feeling so hot all day yesterday. Discovered a bite bump on my neck about oneish. By night my neck had thick lumps under the skin. Hurt a bit, itched a bit and was growing larger.
Anybody got a clue?
I tried to check the internet and couldn't find anything that came close. But I did find out a lot of things like to bite humans. Go figure.

Brown recluse. you will have something that gets big like a pimple, the skin will turn black in that area, (dime sized) If you go to the doctor you can get something to put on it. But I think it will do it's thing. They do get better eventually.

I had a black widow bite. I had a really hard stomach and was sick for 3 days.
Re: I received a (spider?) bite yesterday
Our area is well outside the range of brown recluse spiders, so those can be ruled out. If you weren't able to confirm that a spider bit you, the most likely cause is a bacterial infection. Most people who think they have spider bites actually have a bacterial skin infection (staph or otherwise; there are numerous possible causes). The problem could also be caused by an actual insect bite, or even an insect bite that has become infected, but if it's getting more painful and/or spreading to a larger area it should really be evaluated by a medical professional as bacterial infections run the risk of becoming serious problems very quickly.

My daughter got bit by a brown recluse and she lives in Portland OR. She went to a doctor there and that is what she was told.
With my black widow bite, I went to Dr. Jensen at the time, and this is what he told me.

I had a customer off east county road get multiple brown recluse bites in one night while he was sleeping. Tragic event. He ended up in hospital for 3 months, sent him home and he passed away 6 months later. RIP Bob
I have identified them (recluse) in my garage, so not impossible

A friend of mine thought his expanding red painful neck rash was a spider bite until it became clear he had a case of shingles.
