Never been bit by anything bad before. musta been my turn.
Last Tuesday am, I took the trash out like I always do.
There's usually spider webs on and around the handles on the garbage cans, never gave them much thought.
A couple hours later I was re-thinking that strategy.
After 4 days the low-grade fever is gone and I'm feeling ok again, except my finger still has it's own heart beat and zip code.
At least it isn't purple no more.
Doc says not a widow, he's thinking recluse. Hard to say for sure but he took a sample and sent to to the lab. curious what they can tell us.
Right now it's all about antibiotics, stopping the infection or slowing it down so the body can deal with it.
Doc says if the flesh dies faster than the system can handle bad things follow.
Can't really tell from the pics but there's about a 3/8" tall lump where that red spot is and it's hard as a rock.
