Answer 2

well chances of seeing one are abit slim you have to  look in dry small spaces in between rocks ect. aka black widows live every where cept in artic places and junk if you get bitten tell your parents imediatly or if you live alone go to the emergency room quickly tons of buites are treeted and many people survive the ones who dont usualy dont live any where near a hospitle or they are super allergic.  Ok dont not sleep thats just silly all you have to do is avoid them if you see one unless its in your house then KILL IT!!!!!! i think they usualy travle singly unless they are mating.  Dont worry dude all the spiders in Illinoise are not going to come after you all of the sudden.

Arachnophobia is very common. It rivals fear of dentists. There isn't a "cure" for black widow bites. You can be treated for black widow bites, and they USUALLY aren't fatal. Likelihood of seeing one? Not very likely. I live in Florida, and I spent a large amount of time in the Everglades as well as any wooded area I could find. In 22 years of wandering off the beaten path, I have seen 2. the first time was under the cover of a water meter, the second was under a rock in a sugar cane field. Black widows are fairly reclusive spiders, and are nearly always found in places where they won't run into people. Spiders are generally more afraid of you than you are of them. If you aren't going out of your way to find one, you probably won't. I actually tried to find them. And I found 2. In 22 years.
