possible black widow bite, or something else?
 

So I don't know if there's any chance of me having been bit by a black widow or not... we've had a lot of them around the area lately, including in our garage. I've been feeling quite nauseated for the past couple hours now.... I never felt anything bite me though, so it's probably not a bite, I'm probably just paranoid cuz spiders scare the crap out of me.... but I was trying to sleep, and I can't, cuz my right foot and ankle have this HORRIBLE pain in them, it's like a million tiny little needles all repeatedly poking me over and over, I can hardly walk on it... my foot is a little bit red, but not too bad, and not really swollen or anything.

Any ideas on what this could be or how to make the pain go away? Regular pain killers don't seem to be working :(

I dont know much about black widows sorry.
However,i would still advise you to go the hospital and get checked over.
If you are feeling ill, it is better safe than sorry.
Plus it will ease your mind to have a bit of reassurance.

Take care

Black Widows are noctornal so they come out mainly at night and only the females bite. Its venom affects the nervous system.
Symptoms include : local pain may be followed by localized or generalized severe muscle cramps, abdominal pain, weakness, and tremor. In severe cases, nausea, vomiting, faintness, dizziness, chest pain, and respiratory difficulties may follow.

The people most affected are young children and the elderly but if you suspect you have bitten then you should go get checked out, its always better to be safe than sorry. If the symptoms get worse you should definatly go to the hospital where they can find the antidote.

Iccckkkk.
Black widows aren't anything to mess around with.
I'd say get checked out just in case.
Better safe than sorry!
