Can anyone help identify what keeps biting me? It is something in the house but I never see it.
I noticed a red bump that i thought to be a pimple on my chest. I tried over and over for 2 days to pop it but it wouldn’t pop. now it looks like a tiny bite on the middle and its red around. i squeeze it and clear liquid comes out of a few different places. i hope its not a spider but im not sure what else it could be.
i woke up on Thursday morning with a blackish dot on my cheek. i just thought it was a strange pimple. that night i pricked it and blood oozed from it. it is not a raised lump but in fact a deep one. the next morning it was sore and was a huge bump under the skin. by that afternoon it started to swell and the swelling has risen into my lower eyelid. its sore to the touch and when pricked, blood just pores out. what could it be? the large bump is not discolored , however where the head of the bump is, it is red and black (blood color)
please help.
I got bit under my thigh today, it hurt like a bee sting and I jumped up and yelled but there was no stinger. Initially, it looked like there was a circular small bite taken out of my thigh, like an apple bite, but now almost 7 hours later it’s a white bump and very small. It hurt all day, but the pain has dulled considerably. I live in Socal, so if anyone thinks they know what bit me pls let me know! Thanks
Anyone know what sort of creature caused this?
I was running errands on Sunday and became aware of a painful spot on my leg. I have dogs and cats, and assumed that I’d been scratched, so I just ignored it. When I was driving home from the pet store, I began feeling really, really sick – feverish, chills, shaking like crazy, etc. I got home, piled on blankets and sweatpants and fleece, and still couldn’t get warm. Finally I fell asleep and woke up again a few hours later. I’d taken some Advil so the fever & chills had calmed down a bit. I never made the connection between the fever and the bite, but the next day I realized that the area on my leg had swelled up and felt hard, had a blister in the center surrounded by a red area, and the red area was surrounded by a white ring. Today the blister is even larger and is about to pop. I covered the area with gauze to ease some of the pain from rubbing, but it’s not helping much. It hurts like heck and I’m limping around. At least the fever was gone by this morning.
I’m thinking spider bite. I live in NW Georgia and there are several spider species that could cause a reaction in a person, but I’m just curious to know what this might be. If there’s no improvement by Friday I’ll go to the doctor.
