Coots,
The same thing happened to my daughter, she got hives all over her body, have you tried benadril? , it still seems to be the best for reactions.

Or today's version,
Cootie-carrying caterpillars carried cooties to Cootie. Cootied Cootie claimed to be created into first Cootiepillar.

We have Saddlebacks here in Fla. One of my kids was bitten and boy does it hurt! He swelled, got a rash and was sick to his stomach.
They're now on my vined plants...it's that time of the year, and other than getting near enough to put poison on the plants, we are staying clear of them.
Once bitten, twice shy.

Eyes, you took the words right outta my mouth. Yep there are a few varieties of caterpillar that have poisonous spines. Benedryl should still help, but if it doesn't get better in a day or two or gets worse, get thee to a doctor.
It is best not to touch any caterpillar that has what looks like spines or hair or fur. (I may be wrong, but I think there is even a species of caterpillar that looked like what we called wooly bears that has poisonous hairs/spines/fur.
Ever been bitten by a praying mantis or a grasshopper? LOL! No poison, but can definitely let you know they are irritated!
Sherry who learned early about "crudapelters" (That was my first attempt as a child at the word. My aunt who has a big time fear and loathing of caterpillars (not unlike my fear and loathing of spiders...STEVE!) said that my word was the best word ever for them LOL!)

Actually, 2 of those links say that Benedryl won't help. I don't know, I've never been stung by a caterpillar. Yes Sherry, I've been bitten by a praying mantis... trying to move it to a safer location. I was surprised. I was also surprised when I was bitten by a grasshopper, but I deserved that one... I needed him for entomology class. I think you're right, there are some venomous wooly bear caterpillars.
re spiders: Spiders get free roam of my apartment... any enemies of flies are a friend of mine. Too bad I don't have any spiders big enough or numerous enough to help control the fucking earwigs that invade at night.

I'm sure Sherry has even more brown recluse spiders down there. I believe they are being accidentally transported to the northeast, someone at work suffered from what I believe to be the bite of a brown recluse. It ain't pretty. But really, brown recluse and black widow are the only 2 North American species you have to be careful with.
What a great thread you started, Pam 
I hope you're feeling better.
Cat: you can give them to me at the convention

They're all yours eyes! LOL I'll catch them all in a bug basket and you can take em home with ya! Too bad that won't stop them coming around.
Yeah I didn't think the brown recluse was native to the northeast, but I have killed 2 of them here, and one girl got bit by one when they were on a field exercise, it had crawled into her sleeping bag. You're right, it's not pretty.
Course, in Germany we had a spider show up in the kitchen that was the size of a small dog hehe

LOL Sherry! You should have seen me, I was only over visiting Clark while he was stationed there. He called out, "don't come in the kitchen" .. so of course I went in the kitchen. Saw this tarantula size spider (looked like a wolf spider) and screamed and it ran under the stove. I jumped on the table and refused to get down til it was dead LOL
Clark was spraying it with raid and I told him to step on it, his reply was "Fuck no!!! It will eat my foot!" LOL
Just stay in a hotel and not a house where they have the chance to live and grow, and grow, and grow.... hehe

Sherry, that may have been a brown recluse bite.
Cat, you should see the size of the spiders in Puerto Rico. Big enough to eat the coquis (frogs).
