    You'll not be the next spider-man, but no doubt you are in for an unpleasant experience.

    If this bite has not become so severe after 4 hours to send you to the hospital, (a good idea anyway) you may be able to just stick it out. If your vision becomes blurred, you need emergency medical attention, and don't say you can't notify authorities, you have internet.

    If you develop any swelling about the face or mouth, don't hesitate, get help.

    If you decide to stick it out, put ice on the injury, and remain inactive , preferably with the bite site elevated. Don't use any form of tourniquet or compression bandage, and you might expect to feel like hell tomorrow.
