I got into my truck the other day, and there was

this brown spider crawling on my leg.

I screamed! of course!

Then I checked for bites.

I think it bit me.

Should I be worried?

This was a couple of days ago, and I am still alive! HaHA

brown spider?

I am not sure where u live but round here we have brown recluse spiders that are very piosonous..

but obviosly they r not the only brown spider around. I hope it wasnt a brown recluse that bit you. I knew someone who got bit in the hand and there hand was kinda curled after that (poison attacked the nerve maybe...idunno)

they r one of the few poisonous things we really have to worry about here in jersey. they say we have rattlesnakes but i have lived here forever and i never saw one (or heard one)

I didn't get a good look at it.

It was definetly brown, and the size of a nickle.

I have been sicker since, but I thought it was just a herx.

If it was a brown recluse, you'd know it. You would have a rotting hole in your leg where it bit you. Plus, the little buggers are really small and hard to see. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
