There are several things a person can do at home to treat a spider bite. Your first step is to wash the affected area with cool soapy water. You will then want to apply ice or another form of cold compress to the area. If you're experiencing pain be sure to take a pain medication such as Tylenol. Elevation of the bitten area is important. Be sure to monitor the spider bite area over the next 24 hours. If the affected area gets worse and you begin to develop other symptoms then you will need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

What is a spider with yellow stripes on it's back in Michigan?

I assume your talking about the common garden spider: the spider in question is most likely the black and yellow Argiope (Argiope aurantia), one of the species of orb weavers. They are found throughout the north america (where ever there is a warm but not overly hot summer).It is not likely to bite you but if you forced it to bite you by pressing it against your skin for some amount of time, the bite would result in swelling and discomfort. It would be a severe and unusual allergy that would result in anything more life threatening from a garden spider bite. they should be seen as a welcome site in any garden if you choose not to use insectisides as these will cut down on grasshopper populations in a very big way.
