    Spider identification
    I get bit by spiders all the time, so this morning when I woke up and found two "fang" marks on my leg I passed it off as another spiderbite. Then when I was laying in bed a very small black spider crawled across my pillow.

    I hate spiders so I freaked out and flushed it..

    Today at about 10:30 am I started to feel very sick, I had a sore throat, headache, a "numbness" in my legs, weakness, fatigue and I kept gagging but never actually puked, it is now 6pm and I'm feeling a bit better, just the sore throat headache, and numbness remain (but they are not as bad as they were). I slept from 11:30 till 3:30..

    Could this be from the spider bite? Can someone help me identify it? I should have saved it and went to the doctor.. But I wasn't thinking..

    It was small; about the size of my pointer finger nail, all black, and had two very long front legs, it didn't have any color.. Just black... I live in Manitoba Canada.

    You could have been bitten by a small black widow spider, although they tend to be secretive and not commonly in the open. If you are "bitten all the time", I would certainly get some pest control in the house.
