Auburn...I'm not an medical type...but have spent many hours working in an ER. Check the Webmd for first aid to stings and follow their advise. Have had several friend deal with Lyme Disease and reactions to other stings. Keep us posted.

And don't drink and alchol. Sorry. My Dad side coming out.

Don't Think it's a deer tick. Just sitting at my dining room table typing along and smack.

laugh laugh Winx...No she's just buzzin along.


Brown recluse...hmmm I'll have to google that. I worked with a girl that got bitten by one of those on her outer thigh, she thought it was in her car, and she got really sick and had this huge huge target like mark on the side of her leg.


I've been bitten by one before. My father has had two bites and needed surgery for both of them.

I don't think that they have red streaks at the beginning phase of the bite.

Btw, I'm allergic to bees so I need to stay away from you for awhile.laugh
Yeah...my brown recluse bite did not get streaks for about 14 hours. I'm thinking maybe a bad reaction to something else. I'd do benadryl and try putting a penny on it...supposed to work for bee stings...who knows? flowerforyou

Oh...didn't know Wolf already said that. doh! :tongue:


Love, I received my recluse bite near your neck of the woods. I was living in Warrensburg (CMSU) by KC.
There are a lot of them around there...used to be a councilor at a camp near there and a girl would get bitten every year...at least one. I've gotten bit twice, but I don't have very bad reactions to them...I've seen the skin eaten out to the bone with em before though. They are nasty spiders for sure! noway

I got bit by one of them...it was horrible. I have a huge scar on my leg from it. It was really deep and very wide. It took many water therapies and silver nitrate type meds rubbed on to help heal it along with three months worth of antibiotics. Not to mention enduring all those taking the dead meat out of it every other day. Just got chills thinking about it.
