Looks like a broad faced sac spider, but I'm no professional.

Copied from another source. "All spiders have venom that they use to immobilize their prey, but broad-faced sac spider venom isn't toxic enough to hurt a human. The bite will still be painful and swollen due to the size of their fangs, and will feel similar to a bee sting, but usually nothing more serious than that happens. "

Thank you! It indeed was like a bee sting. Painful, and leaving some tingling for some 20 minutes. Then it went away.
