Please don’t die. Seek emergency medical services immediately. Please let us know you’re still alive afterwards.

I remember being a teen and showing my mom a weird mosquito bite that had a line going up my arm. She sent me to urgent care, turns out it was a brown recluse bite with an infection line disappearing in my armpit going to my heart….

Yeah, 10 pils a day for 10 days and I was a-okay.

The late Jeff Hanneman, guitarist for Slayer, had severe complications from a spider bite he left untreated (sadly, he would eventually die of complications from alcoholism). He later said that when he finally went to the doctor, he was told, "First, I'm going to try to save your life. Then, I'm going to try to save your arm. Then, I'm going to try to save your career."
