Bit 11/03/2013 afternoon by a Steatoda
I was working in the yard. Came in the house and felt something on my right back neck. Took off my shirt and found nothing. Then I noticed a bee sting like sensation at that location. It grew stronger than a bee sting. A little while later I noticed this spider on my leg:

I washed the area, put ice on it shortly after being bit, and took a homeopathic remedy "ledum palustre 30c".
This morning there is not much bite mark however a tight sensation in the surrounding muscles. The symptoms are lessening. I will live! ;-)
