Personally, I would've squished it.
Since I got bitten by a black widow about 5 years ago, I'm pretty wary of 'em ALL.
Reminds me of the late, great Lewis Grizzard, who said there was only ONE kind of snake...the dreaded Copperheaded Water Rattler. :o) A snake so mean that if you checked into a hotel, it would check into the room next to you and bite you when you went out to the pool.
What in the world did you say to her to make her bite you? Wow, I sure hope it wasn't anything racial or something.
