            Yeah, probably. A bee sting is a pretty good comparison for spider bites in general, though with a very low chance of alergic reaction compared to bees or wasps. And that’s really where the danger is.

            Otherwise it will just hurt for a bit and then go away.

      Thanks, that was my assumption as well from some minor googling but wanted to get another pair (or 3) of eyes on it
