It started geting red right away and the area was very painful for several hours after the bite. I was bit on the back of my calf right below the back of my knee. Today, the area is red, hot and the size of an orange. The bite itself is sorta hard to the touch and I think there is only one little hole where I was bit. There is no swelling at all. I feel a little groggy/lightheaded and weak/tired. It's not severe, but I am wondering what it could be. I'm from central Ohio, so I am assuming it's a spider bite.

You should call the poision control center, or go to the fire department or the hospital. . ..

It is probably a spider bite. You should at least make an appointment with a doctor to make sure you're not in trouble.

sounds like it but the size is scary. i am not sure if you have recluse there but i would head for doctor and find out what it is now. you may have to have it treated with it being so big.
