spider bite

I was bitten by a spider, not sure what kind. I live in Oakland county michigan. I became very concerned when the redness started to spread, then within a few hours it started to travel up my arm. I marked the outline of the redness to see how much it changed. I went to the hospital and when the E.R. doctors saw how fast it had traveled they became very concerned. I was started on rapid I.V. drip of antibiotics. and saline. If you ever get bitten "do not squeeze the bite or abscess, other wise you might end up in the hospital like I did. This was taken as I was leaving my house for the hospital.
