Widders....Not especially deadly and they don't tend to bite.
Hauling armloads of firewood in Alabama, I decided to actually "look" at
what I'd been carrying around for months.
Results: average, 2 to 4 Black Widows, several small scorpions and an
occasional big nasty looking centipede per armload.
Walking about barefoot in those woods, I stood quietly for a while one day,
then "looked" at what I was walking in. Several small scorpions per
square foot.
I've found black widows living under the bed in the box springs and
always seemed to have one in the cab of my toy trucks as a kid.
Never stung or bitten that I can SAY was any of those. I've had a few
bites in the morning that itched pretty bad and took a while to heal up,
but never saw what did the deed.
Yellow jackets now.... never see em coming and they make your whole body
hurt for hours. They'll hit ya 3 times before you can decide which way to run.

Are you sure this was a Black Widow?
I was under the understanding that one bite is lethal to a human. It is a
neurotoxin paralysis to the nervous system and kills within 15-20 minutes.
Am I mistaken?

I had 2 Black Widow spider bites. I put meat tenderizer (papain, bromelain
in meat tenderizer break down protein and bee venom and I presume spider
venom is made of protein also) one the first one. In absence of meat
tenderizer I have used digestive enzymes or fresh pineapple, papaya, or
kiwi fruit.
The bite I put meat tenderizer on immediately did not react at all to the
venom- no necrotizing tissue or inflammation at all. I did get a general
reaction of nausea and stomach cramps. The second bite I didn't recognize
as a bite at the time. The next day it started to necrotize and my leg
swelled up and turned red. In an inflammatory situation Vitamin C in large
quantities should help. I was given an antibiotic and after a couple of
days the swelling went away, after a lot of prayer and healing scripture
confessions. Perhaps soaking in epsom salts would also be beneficial
because that helped my daughter after she had swelling and inflammation
from a pencil lead being rammed into her foot.
I'm only assuming Black Widow spider venom and Brown Recluse venom are
similar.
