I was wondering.. Can you feel a spiderbite? I mean.. I went to a friend's house (where there's bugs everywhere) they started to move things and take things out, so basically the living room is empty now. WELL, there's this thing where they put their TV on.. and we already broke a couple pieces off (we're moving it out anyways) and I saw a spider, I killed it of course. well, as we open the cabinets there's Spider webs everywhere..but saw little spiders.. As we broke it down because we can't pick the whole thing up by ourselves (too heavy) we got little wooden pieces, and we moved this certain one and spiders went everywhere and these little black things moved everywhere (I'm guessing they're baby spiders, But I don't know) we turned the wooden piece over and saw like 8 or 10 spider eggs, we sucked them up into a vacuum. we saw little thin white ones, to thin brown ones, to thick black ones (or dark brown). I don't think I got bitten, because you would feel it right??? I told my mom she asked if I got bitten, I told her no because I didn't feel any stinging other than throwing old books away outside into a container and a sweat bee came bit/stung me..(that was WAY before the breaking little pieces of wood thing) She said you couldn't feel a spider bite.. and they could've been brown recluses.. Now I'm very paranoid that I may have got bitten.... (this was about 4/3/5 hours ago..)

It is highly unlikely that you were bit by a spider.Spiders will almost never bite, unless severely provoked.I handle spiders every day and still have never been bit.
Brown recluse is even more likely.For some reason people go all "brown recluse" whenever they see a spider, even though most of them aren't even in the range and those that are usually are almost always wrong.This is the range of the brown recluse: http://bugguide.net/images/raw/ZSWQV0PQD0PQZSPQC0Q...
If you aren't in that range, you simply do not have brown recluse.If you are, you still probably have never seen one."I killed it, of coarse".I'm wondering what you meant by that. Like is that saying you were supposed to kill it?Thats sick.You aren't meant to go around stomping on innocent creatures because your scared.
There are a number of spiders this could be, and almost certainly not a recluse.Without even a slight description of the spider, I can't identify it however.
You might take a look a the following images:

All harmless spiders.
Don't lose any sleep over a harmless spider, and an imaginary bite.Normal paranoid people will blame actual marks on spiders (of coarse unrelated spiders in reality) but I've never seen people make up imaginary marks to blame on spiders.
