Bitten by a brown recluse spider
A couple of days ago I was out in the back yard, clearing some brush. When I came in for the day I saw what looked like a small bug bite on my leg. The next day the area was reddish and itched and hurt. The next day the area of the bite was spreading. I showed it to my wife who proclaimed it to be a brown recluse spider bite. I didn’t believer her (of course) and she showed me pictures of a brown recluse spider bite from the Internet. I agreed that it DID look like my bite, so I made an appointment to see my doctor. I saw him today – he was quite impressed – he had never seen a brown recluse spider bite! He took some pictures of it and gave me a prescription for some antibiotics and sent me home. I hope they clear this bite up!
