12 hrs ago I got bit or stung by something? |
At first I thought it was a Yellowjacket,I did'nt get a good look at it, I had my shirt off and it got me just above my beltline,(no stinger). I've been stung by many a bee growing up,but none ever looked like this.The bite area is swollen and red with a blister in the center now and entire area is hot to the touch. Area is approx. 2 in. in diameter,but swelling is increasing it seems.Pain extends outward approx. 4 to 5 ins. I live in Washington State and we have a couple of very venomous spiders living here,the Brown recluse and the Hobo spiders.Like I said,I did'nt get a good look at what got me,as I was using a weedeater at the time in some tall grass about waist high. Could this be a spider bite? A BAD spider bite?I feel fine as of now physically,but mentally concerned. that sounds like a hornet sting. If it was a spider bite you would probably see the fang marks or holes in the middle. You need to at least call a doctor or medical type. Of course if it continues to get worse I would definately go to the E.R. and get it checked out.. It could be a spider bite. You might have also gotten hit by some debris. If you are concerned, go to your doc or an urgent care clinic just to be sure. I am sure it was not poisonous since it happened 12 hours ago, but better safe then sorry. If it doesn't ease up soon I'd check with a doctor. It could be an allergic reaction. It sounds most like a yellow jacket to me but I"m not an expert. I just asked a medic here at work, and he said if it's a bulls-eye rash (red with a paler center) it could very well be a brown recluse bite. (We have the nasty things here in Missouri as well.) Might want to see a doctor in the morning just to be on the safe side, and if it is a brown recluse, he'll probably prescribed some antibiotics. If you're not allergic to Benadryl, you might take some of that to lessen the symptoms. To be on the safe side, have it evaluated by a health care provider. |
