This fucker got me real good overnight... 4 huge, painful red welts on my hand and lower forearm... normally, if I see a spider in my room, I introduce myself...chat him/her up a bit, and then resume cohabitating peacefully... unfortunately, this time that's not going to be an option... Folks, should I 'freeze the spider out' by keeping the window open in the 20 degree weather?

The brown recluse spider... AKA violin or fiddleback spide...its range is not typically this far north.. especially in winter. This is most likely a large common house spider or wolf spider.

Bed bugs???
Brown recluse are definitely as far north as St. Louis. My father got bit by one 50 years or so ago. Nasty as fuck. Rotted a softball sized section of skin out of his upper leg. Stunk so bad you could hardly stand to be in the same room with him. Had to cut skin off of his ass for a graft.
How far north are you, Bad Matt?

That definitely sounds like a recluse bite to me. Good ol' fashioned necrosis. My latitude is 41.72 degrees North.

I’d worry more about all the jizz that Coates every inch of that room

Perhaps a tiny vampiric hor sneaked in and bit you while you slept.

Not in a room with brown recluse spiders and/or bed bugs!

Bed bugs itch. These fuckers don't itch in the slightest... they hurt. And you can see on the red welts two smaller, evenly separated bumps... where the fangs went in. This fucker got me way up on my upper arm too...i apparently rolled over on him and he was pissed off and unleashed his poisonous fury upon me.
