Does this spider bite look like it poses a risk?

Question

I was bit a week ago and have had a flu like feeling. Chills, sweating, etc. And then I was bit 2 days ago and this one started to pus today (yellow). I have a lot of spiders around my home and some have come in. I was sleeping and felt something craw on my leg and then a bite. I woke up with a red area like a bulls eye, with a white hard center dot (on my ankle). My whole leg hurts and I feel like I have a flu, pain in my body and cold sweating and chills. Can someone try to identify the spider (I live near New York) and let me know if this looks serious enough to seek medical help (I'm not one to go to the Hospital unless I'm about to die). Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

That looks pretty critical. You should stop asking to yahoo and go see the doctor in a hurry

Answer 2

YOU NEED TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION QUICK..... SPIDER BITES ARE NO JOKE, BROWN RECLUSE SPIDERS ARE POISONOUS AND YOU COULD BECOME VERY ILL AND POSSIBLE LOSE YOUR LIFE FROM A BITE. THAT BITE IS OBVIOUSLY GETTING WORSE. A FEVER AND FLU SYMTOMS ARE A SERIOUS SIGN OF INFECTION. YOU REALLY NEED TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.  

Answer 3

That doesnt look good at all :( I would def seek medical attention. It doesnt look like a spider bite to me, maybe a deer tick or something in that family, would be my guess, but anything that has yellow puss usually means infection. You should call your doctor now and let him know and see what they tell you. I would also take some benedryl in case of allergic reaction.

Answer 4

I would definitely get it checked out-It looks pretty infected. Good luck!

Answer 5

The yellow is pus.  It is infected, you need to go to the doctor.  The bullseye is not a good sign, that means it is in your blood stream.  

Answer 6

Hi,you need to get it checked has it looks like it might be infected.

Answer 7

It presents as a black widow spider and  flu like symptoms are a sign that it possibly was. I would call your doctor, and go in and make sure that it's not.
