I have seen the aftermath of a rabbit sting, and it looks a lot like a fiddleback spider bite, which I have had. Blackening of the wound [tissue necrosis] as the blood supply gets shut down by the toxin, difficulty of wound healing, etc.

I don't want to be alarmist, but you might consult a doctor and talk with him at least. It may be too late for a Medrol pack, but if you get a lot of swelling and start to get tissue loss, it's hard to get the wound to heal. If it's already healing, great; if it's being slow about it, or if you're seeing a black area in the wound, you may need some medical attention. Perhaps the individual I saw was particularly susceptible, but I at least thought I should pass on a warning.
