I was bitten by a black widow spider several years ago, when I was on a camping trip. It bit me on the neck. The spider was killed and taken (along with me0 to the ranger station. Where the spider was identified ans I was taken to the nearest hospital. My neck swelled up and I had flu like symptoms for about a week and then I was OK. I had an antivenon injection at the hospital. I thought I was going to die. The doctor told me that only the very young, old or weak and ill people died from the bite. I was very fit and healthy at the time. Hope this answers someone's questiom. It is not a death sentence to be bitten by a black widow, but get to a hospital.
