my house is in the woods also, and about 2 years ago i had a spider bite on my left foot that caused me to think i could lose the foot! i was terrified. my foot turned purple, swelled to enormous size like a football, and throbbed painfully. i was petrified they might have to amputate! for a long time after that i wore combat boots to bed and imagined spiders crawling on me at night! 
they must deliver very powerful IV antibiotics for something like that, oral ones will not work. all those years in florida i never was bitten by anything poisonous (full of venomous snakes as you know Cars!
) ~~until i got back to Mass.
that darling little girl was just too tiny to absorb and fight off the venom, and probably had no immunity at her age.
i hate spiders like you hate snakes Cars. at least i can see the godamn snakes and chop off their heads with a shovel!
