Bed bugs vs spiders: Spider bites can have variable appearances. It might cause a pink or red bump with no symptoms. Or it could itch or be painful. Venomous spiders may cause significant pain radiating far from the site, cramping, sweating, necrosis of tissue or worse if there is an allergic reaction. Bed bug bites may have no sx's/signs except for 2 small skin puncture points. A reaction may show from an hr to >.
