Hi all new here.
I think this a Mouse Spider (I don't know anything but that's the closest thing I could find based on pictures I've found online). I got bitten in my sleep 5 days ago and found this a few days later in the bedroom. Got bitten on my forearm it itches and after 5 days my entire forearm is red. Went to doctor, gave me a shot and some Benadryl and Zyrtec.
ID Please, got bitten, bad allergic reaction

Forgot to say I'm Southern California just south of LA
This is a ground spider in the family Gnaphosidae; none of these are known to be dangerous to humans, but some people (like yourself) have reported a localized allergic reaction subsequent to a bite from one of these spiders.
