Answer 2

it may hae been a woodlouse spider. I don't think it's anything to worry about, since the venom is not poisonous. but i would go to a doctor anyway

edit: i did some research and i found out that if not treated, someone could have an allergic reaction to the venom, but its usually not poisonous.

if the spider looks like this http://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/spiders/Dys...

then go see a doctor to make sure you won't be allergic
