In America at least there are only 2 seriously venomous spiders
Black widow
Brown recluse (its all about colors)
let's say your bite is annoying but not from the above 2.
cover wound with meat tenderizer from the kitchen, then a pad of toilet paper, then put a bandaid lightly on it.
Did you see the spider, identify it!
If you skin reaction seems major or you are in big pain
go to the hospital now

Did you see the spider that bit you.

Brown recluse:
It is brown and sometimes an almost deep yellow color and usually has markings on the dorsal side of its cephalothorax, with a black line coming from it that looks like a violin with the neck of the violin pointing to the rear of the spider, resulting in the nickname "fiddleback spider" or "violin spider". Coloring varies from light tan to brown and the violin marking may not be visible.

Most bites are minor with no necrosis. However, a small number of bites produce severe dermonecrotic lesions, and, sometimes, severe systemic symptoms, including organ damage. Rarely, the bite may also produce a systemic condition with occasional fatalities. Most fatalities are in children under 7

Black widow:
The black widow spider (Latrodectus spp.) is a spider notorious for its neurotoxic venom. It is a large widow spider found throughout the world and commonly associated with urban habitats or agricultural areas. Although the name 'black widow spider' is most commonly used to refer to the three North American species best known for their dark coloration and red hourglass pattern.
Although their venom is extremely potent, (15 times as potent than that of the rattlesnakes; it is also reported to be much more potent than the venom of cobras and coral snakes), these spiders are not especially large. Compared to many other species of spiders, their chelicerae are not very large or powerful. In the case of a mature female, the hollow, needle shaped part of each chelicera, the part that penetrates the skin, is approximately 1.0 mm (around .04 inch) long, sufficiently long to inject the venom to a dangerous depth. The males, being much smaller, can inject far less venom and inject it far less deeply. The actual amount injected, even by a mature female, is very small in physical volume. When this small amount of venom is diffused throughout the body of a healthy, mature human, it usually does not amount to a fatal dose.

Are you talking regular spider bite? The kind that itches like crazy? Or are you talking about a black widow or something like that? If it's one of the small jumpy guys, tough it out. Sure, it hurts for a while and itches like heck when it doesn't hurt anymore but you can handle it. I use Neosporin w/ pain relief and then cortisone when it itches. If you're talking about a big nasty bite, then go see a doctor.

Go to a doctor immediately, due to the fact that it could be a black widow or brown recluse whose bites are highly dangerous. They can both cause very serious problems and need to be treated right a way.

it depends on what kind of spider. not all are poisonous and only a couple poisonous spiders live in the us. if its your normal daddy longlegs don't worry but if its a black widow or brown reclous(sp?) get to the doctor. if you are certain its not poisonous just take some benadryl to help with itching and swelling, which might help even if you are going to the doctor.
