I'm not positive. But I suspect a Brown Recluse nailed me. When I 1st noticed it, there were two distinctive fang marks. Following day both fang holes sloughed open. Whereas, I could see down both holes an 1/8" or so. Leg skin swollen tight like a snare drum.
This is the 5th time I've ever been spider bit. Worst other bite was by a very large & harry Fisher Spider. I mashed him on my shoulder as I awoke. As I lay in my sleeping bag near the Iowa River, while camping on the ground. That spider was huge[looked like a Tarantula]. Smashed Fisher Spider sunk both fangs into my shoulder. Felt like a hot poker.
