It bit my hand while I was sleeping and it was a rude awakening. I saw it and killed it right away. I then went online to research what type of spider it was and what to expect. It bit me in the center of my palm and the pain is now in my wrist. I may need to get it checked out come morning. What a way to spend Labor Day.
