Has anyone been bitten by a Parson Spider?
I woke up Monday with what I think is a spider bite ,it has a little white circle in the middle and a real dark red around it and my leg is swollen
What kind of spide is this, always inside pool, under the rim of tile
I was bit by something twice/ 2 seperate bite area’s. They are on my leftside back area one is right next to the back/armpit area and the other is just above that one but more towards my shoulder. They feel like I have a knot or maybe like a deep cyst, there are 2 puncture marks on each site. They itch/burn but when I scratch they hurt like a bruise or similiar to the feeling yu get after a tetnaus shot or immunization, the area’s are raised, red and scabbed on the puncture sites.
I have been really tired and achy, weak, headache, and have had excessive bonding with the bathroom. I know it’s a spider bite because of the very distinctive fang marks. I haven’t found a pic that looks like these area’s and I am having trouble viewing the pics on here because of my phone.
I live in Idaho close to Lewiston, Clarkston and Pullman Wa. And Gennesee Id. It is a rural area and lots of farms and fields, I live right next to a Creek that runs through town, a 2-3 min walk away. I know Hobo’s are in this area but I would expect to feel more ill. It has been about 48hrs and the entire bite area and fang marks are becoming more pronounced. Can anybody throw some idea’s at me as to what I might have been bitten by? I would really, really appriciate any input , they are very uncomfortable and distacting because of the itch burn and pain, my clothes/bra strap keeps rubbing them and it’s irritaiting.
Thank you for your time if you are reading this and I have to say, Spiders are creepy, gross, and this is making me nervous to sleep in my bed as it feels like something always crawling on me, I am paranoid about all this and wonder where I was when it got me. Oh and the day I was bit I kept having tiny baby spiders on me, in my hair and whatnot, like they were falling out of the sky and couldn’t figure out why and where they were comming from, probably 5-8 baby spiders crawled on me that day.
I am thinking that maybe I know where they came from, maybe I put on a hoodie that had a nest and mama. YUCK, I DON’T LIKE SPIDER’S!!!!!! 🙁
Ryan D,
Hope that you got checked for lyme back in March. I had a rash like yours and that’s what it was. Didn’t even realize that I had been bitten until I became very ill with flu-like symptoms and was hospitalized with heart problems.
image 21 send from Melanie it says that it is an insect bite could you or someone tell me if that’s true and if it is an insect bit what kind?
Thank you
NEED REPLY FAST! BIG red golf ball-sized lump on my right foreleg- AND GROWING! Yesterday i was outside playing with friends when i look up. MOSQUITOES! i look Down. SPIDERS! Black and brown. I run inside and put some itch cream on all the bites. then, this morning, My athletes foot was hurting and i couldn’t walk on my right leg. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?!?!?!?!? BTW how u put on pics?
i heard that my friend had been bitten by a black widow and the arm got all swollen but when she went to the hospital they had to cut where the bite was at and she said” that when all the pressure came out of her arm it started to feel like that her arm had just release a 2 ton brick but she is ok now but i’m pretty sure she never wants to see another spider in her life ever again ican totally see where shes coming from
If you have anything at all that looks like a bulls eye rash, please get tested for Lyme Disease right away. It is often accompanied by mild, flu-like symptoms, but not always. If you catch it right away, it won’t become a lifetime battle.
i have a bit on my neck and my dad says its a brown recluse, but my grandma and i think its a hobo spider. i live in colorado, but im not so sure if there are any here. the bite on my neck is like a blister (popped), its purple-ish, has pain around the area and it has two really red dots in the middle. the pain seems to be moving down to my shoulder area and it causes me headaches. i also get really dizzy and fatigued. can someone try and define what could’ve bit me?
please help me. I got bit by something at 4am. I woke up and there are 4 bite marks that look like little holes. It’s like two and two and they are next to eachother. its almost like fang marks but smaller. I am so scared. It’s starting to have a red bump around the dots and it does hurt. I dont wanna die can someone help me. Does this sound like a spider bite? Should I go to the hospital or am I being paranoid?
My boyfriend was bitten by what we think was a spider yesterday. I didn’t get to see it and he said he doesn’t remember what it looks like. He got bit on his calf, its all red and the skin is really hard. It hurts him to walk and it really hurts when you put and kind of pressure on the bite area. We tried squeezing it and blood came out. I just wanna know what kind of bite this is and how we could treat it. Please help!
If your bite looks like a bullseye and feels hot to the touch, definitely see a doctor and get antibiotics to treat Lyme – esp if you have any flu-like symptoms. If you have one ignorant doctor, find a different one. If you don’t, the Lyme disease will become chronic and untreatable with very serious consequences. If you are EVER bitten by a deer tick and you know it, see your doctor and get a short course (only a couple of pills) of antibiotic, usually doxycycline, to prevent Lyme. Lyme tests are NOT reliable (less than 50%) and the bullseye rash only shows up less than 50% of the time. I had it. I live in a large metro city and the emerg rm doc didn’t recognize Lyme. Had to see another doc. Lyme is very serious.
My Boyfriend , Some Friends , And I Went Camping ( In A Tent ) And He Came Home With A Non – Itchy Red Bump With Pus In The Middle And When He Pops It It Pops Out Like Popped Pimple Pus . He Thinks It’s An Ingrown Hair But Ingrown Hairs Don’t Pop More Than Once . Can Anybody Tell Me If It’s A Spider-bite Please ? I’m Worried .
Thanks .
i’m not really sure if it’s a spider bite or not. it’s red and swolen .i don’t see any fang marks so that’s a relief.
So i was at a friends house about a week ago and woke up the next morning with 3 bug bites, in a triangle pattern, on the back of my thigh. The first few days they just looked like normal bug bites. I went to the Dr. for some other things and while I was there I got the bite checked out. He gave me some steroid cream, told me to stop scratching it and it should be fine. But today, I woke up and it seemed to have gotten a lot worse. Two of the bites looked normal and were still red. And the last one has a whitehead and is surrounded by raised red skin in a star-like shape. I’m not sure if the bite got infected or if I am just allergic to the cream. But after eight days and the bites still being there, I am concerned. And it’s painful to the touch and itches really bad.

You might be dealing with a brown recluse if they have long legs and what looks like a violin on the upper part of its body it is a brown recluse. When bitten by a brown recluse you will start to see the bight getting black. I advise you to search pictures of a brown recluse and see if it helps

Hey uh.. I got these bites near my arm pit on my back, at first I had thought it was just zits or something. because sadly I do get back zits but most of them are ON my shoulders.. not below them.. um they itch but I haven’t really touched them, they are pretty sore too.. (look like scratched mosquito bites..) we just moved into this old house in PA …there are a bunch of them I will proxcide them but I’m not even sure what they are

My boyfriend showed me I think it is a spider bite on his toe and we have spiders but not sure if it is on idk how to post a picture so I can’t show u
Okay, I seriously need to know what these bites are. They aren’t bed bug bites. They are red, and some itch..some just stay there. There’s a bad bite on my wrist that’s raised like a pimple and whenever it’s pressured it burns my whole hand and wrist. It’s on the bottom side of my wrist. I’ve bandaged it and put antibiotics on it several times. HELP! Anything would be wonderful and greatly appreciated. Yes I’m a young person specifically in my teens. Blood suckers(insects only)have always liked biting my flesh -_-
How do you post a picture? I have one I need help with.
Hey, I woke up with this . Not sure what it is. Hoping submitting it could be of some assistance. Thanks
Vickie and Katherine – that red ring around the bite looks more like a tick bite, and your description of the symptoms sound like it also. If it is, you need to find out if it could be Lyme disease, as it will stay in your system and worsen over the years if not treated. I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with it. The picture definitely looks like the symptoms of a tick bite.
I have a bite behind my earlobe, and it itches. at the beginning it hurt whenever I tried to touch it. I know I have spiders in my house, it was built in 1912 so it’s old and has cracks. I do have a hole in my wall, so maybe the spider decided to snack on me:(
A brown spider with long legs, sounds like a brown recluse. But I don’t know, check with the doctor just to make sure. Here’s an awful fact: You eat about 3 spiders a month I think gross huh?
