Answers:
not all spider bites require a trip to the emergency room.
if you were able to catch the spider and it resembles that of a poisonous spider then take it w/you to the emergency room. the most posionous ones are a brown recluse and a black widow. i'll post links for pictures of both.
report to the er if
-you think or know the spider was posionous
-the bite is begin to swell rapidly
-the bite has increased redness or is severely painful,tender,or hot to touch
-you begin to feel lightheaded,dizzy,sweaty,or nauseated
if the bite doesn't seem to be reacting much-wash it well with warm water and soap. apply some benadryl or hydrocortisone cream to help relieve swelling and itch
hope this helps
