Had a really nasty nasty bite me on Monday, first time in probably 5 years or so that I've gotten more then a chigger, mosquito, or flea bite. Anyway, the odd part is, when I went to the clinic, I was told it was possibly a brown recluse bite.
This is very weird and scary news to me, because the chances of a spider bite being this source are 1 in 4000 and there would be nercoppathy of my skin, which hasn't occurred nearly a week later. 1 missed day of work, 4 medications regime and a shot later, I'm able to have the wound uncovered and the infected area is down to the size of a dime with minor itching.
So I have to wonder if the bite wasn't what they where thinking it was, or if I'm just a really good healer? What's your takes on bites in general?
