No. Spiders don't do that. Check the site listed in links for more details. This one's a hoax and an urban legend that's been around for a very long time.

Instead, you were bitten by a spider -- nothing more or less. Depending on the type of spider and your reaction to it, this may be nothing important, or something that requires medical attention.

First -- in the future, you might call the Poison Control number. Poison Control is open 24/7/365, is non-profit, and tremendously accurate. The number is:

800-222-1222

Now -- on to treatment and first aid for spiders:

For minor bites as yours sounds like, Ice Pack it, take a mild painkiller, and don't scratch it if it itches. I'll post a reference question here when I go a little further with a page on Spider Bite REmedies.
