A member asked:

I woke up this morning with two puncture holes in the top of my hand with a little redness around them. could this be a spider bite?

Maybe: Two red marks sounds like a bug bite, the only way to know if it was a spider is in 1-2 days it will turn dark around the red marks. If this occurs u should visit your local md or ed because it will need excision.

Yes, quite likely: Yes, it is very likely that you have a spider bite or some type of bug bite. I would watch it closely, and if any redness starts spreading, immediately seek medical attention, as you may need antibiotics.
