Re: Spider Bite Concern
I suspect your are fine if it has been 5 days since your bite. There are 3 spiders in the U.S. which have a medically significant bite; the Brown Recluse, the Hobo Spider and the Black Widow.
Both the Brown Recluse and Hobo Spider have necrotic, tissue destroying bites. With both of these you will have a festering area around the bite in 24 to 36 hours if invenomated. These spiders are also known to give dry bites for which you will have no effects.
The Black Widow's bite attacks the nervous system. It usually results in severe abdominal stress, nausea and cramping, within hours after the bite.
It's entirely possible that you do have a spider bite from some insignificant spider that's causing an allergic reaction but it should subside pretty soon. Don't worry about it getting to your heart in your sleep, after 5 days it's gotten there already.
