Long and very gross bite progression

Had a spider on my chest when I was at a bonfire, and the next day a tiny little lump showed up on my thigh. I pretended it would resolve on its own for as long as I could until my first ER trip on 11/1. I had an abscess that they (unsuccessfully) tried to drain and my pcp gave me an antibiotic. Second ER trip 2 days later had me admitted for 3 days for IV antibiotics. I had a nasty bacterial infection, double abscess, cellulitis, the works. Ended up with a small bullet sized hole in my leg as a keepsake lol

I never actually felt the bite, and the pain didn’t start until the next day. I don’t know if it was even the spider that bit me. Any idea what it was?
