I have not been bitten (yet) but I kill many Brown recluse spiders in my house every year (I spray and fog and find lots of dead ones on the floor the next several days). I expect to have to deal with a bite sooner or later. That said, I have researched it and like others have said, time is of the escence here. Waiting will allow it to further damage the tissue and cause problems. It won't get better by itself.
Last week I was moving a wood pile (classic place to find a fiddle back) and I felt something biting my arm and I looked and see some brown spider legs sticking out from my shirt sleeve...I swatted it off and stomped it only partially smashing it and upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a wolf spider. WHEW! It didn't even leave a mark and didn't hurt really at all.
