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.
