A member asked:
I have really bad anxiety. shortly after waking up my arm started itching horribly. now i'm terrified i got bit by a spider.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Typically a spider bite will leave some type of a bite mark and there will be inflammation of the bitten area. If all you are having is itching, i doubt that you were bitten but you can always get it checked out by a doctor if this will help decrease your anxiety.
