The bite like wolfies? Because I had one hit me like when bee sting when I scared her up.

Yeah, probably. A bee sting is a pretty good comparison for spider bites in general, though with a very low chance of alergic reaction compared to bees or wasps. And that's really where the danger is.

Otherwise it will just hurt for a bit and then go away.

Bees hurt way worse than these IMO. But I'm possibly mildly allergic to bees.
