I wish you had a photo of it. I was on the green when I got bit. All the symptoms that you had I had but believe me I am going to be looking down from now on. ha ha

PS. Would like to find a book on Florida spiders and their bites because this one was certainly a poisonous one. I was at Pinellas Library today but they did not have a book on the subject.
