Koch-Mason dressing.
Take a warm, moist washcloth, DO NOT use one that will upset your wife if it is destroyed. Cover the bite, wrap a dry hand towel around this. Cover with saran wrap, NOT TOO TIGHT. Change after 10-12 hours.
The moist will encourage it to drain, the dry towel over wet one will, help draw the crap away from the wound, the saran wrap holds in the body heat, bacteria have a fairly narrow temp range where they will survive. Warm them up and they die, one of the reasons you get a fever when you are sick.
Don't be surprised if you remove it and the washcloth has some nasty goo on it.
isn't your wife an anesthesiologist or something?
