How do you tell the difference between a mosquito bite and a spider bite?

I get horrible welts when I'm bitten - I feel like these "southern mosquitos" are evil! LOL But how can I tell if the culprit was really a spider?

Well, a poisonous spider bite will hurt a lot more than itch. Also, you'll soon get an open sore with pus and yuck from a spider bite! (I recommend getting mosquito bites...even if they're the "evil" southern type. ;-))
