Wow, you're lucky, Bob. I was bitten on the neck several times, next to the juggler vein and within fifteen minutes my entire abdomen was in severe cramps and I had a headache that felt as if my head would explode. After getting to the hospital, I was morphined into a state I don't recall much for the next two days. For six months afterwards, my legs felt like jelly - sometimes not as badly as others, but increasingly got better. Don't know if the leg weakness was from the venom or morphine.
I count my blessings on that bite - apparently, I'm not as sensitive to the venom as some are. Of course, I about died at sick call the next day. MD took a look at the bite, asked about the circumstances and announces "You were bit by a black widow. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do for you now."
I asked him "What do you mean? Am I going to die or what?"
He looks surprised and tells me that if I had come in the day it happened, they could have done this, that, and the other thing - all they could do now was some antibiotics and put me on quarters for two days.
