Spider Bites

Black widow spider bites may cause sharp pain up the limb, but can also be painless. Two red fang marks, redness, tenderness, and a nodule at the bite site indicate a black widow spider bite.

Brown recluse spider bites are often painless at first. When the skin reddens, turns white, develops a red "bull's-eye" and blisters, it becomes painful.
