I have never heard anyone saying that they got bit by a black widow. We had a friend in the 1980s/90s who got bit on her leg by a brown recluse. She said it left an area of rotted skin/meat on her leg, but I didn't ask her to show me.

My brother made our children a toy parking building out of plywood for their Tonka trucks. He did a good job on it, but it also proved to become a home for black widows. Our grandchildren still play with the Tonka trucks, but the toy parking building is long gone.
