Possible Infection: Brown widow spider bites usually are not that dangerous, but some people are more sensitive to the venom. The brown recluse usually causes symptoms after about a week. People who are sensitive to the brown widow usually have problems more quickly. Either way it NEEDS to be checked out because you could have a skin infection that can spread and cause damage.
