Did you see the spider? A bite from a hobo spider is pretty rare; especially at this time of year. The best thing to do with any such spider bite is to go to the hospital or a doctor as soon as you can. If you killed or trapped the spider, take it with you.

You will be probably be treated with antihistamines. If there is swelling they will probably mark it with a pen. You will have to watch for infection and dead tissue. They are similar to recluse spider bites. You can see photos of my run in with a suspected recluse here: Was that a Brown Recluse? - Submit an Entry: Spider Bite Pictures from Spider Bite Victims (http://firstaid.about.com/u/sty/bitesstings/09_Spider_Bite_Pictures/Was-that-a-Brown-Recluse.htm) If you click on the photos you can see larger images.

If you have a similar reaction then you should definitely see a doctor. Let us know what happens.
