Why this question?: You live in NY state. Do you travel? There are no venomous spiders where you live. Actual spider bites are rare in USA. Erroneous diagnoses of "spider bites" are very common. What kind of spider? If you heard that a pop musician died 2 years after a spider bite, consider this in the same category as alligators in sewers.
