What does the center look like? Can you take a picture of it? ( I had to lay my arm down on the scanner bed, that is why my pictures did not turm out great, but I will do it tomorrow as the center of my bite has has gotten a little larger. )

I got an itching about mid-day yeserday on the hip right at my wastline underneath the boxer strecth band and belt.

I realized it was a bite, and my wife noticed it last night. Last night it had a pin hole in the middle of a red swelled area about the size of a dime (but oval in shape) that was raised like a welt, maybe 1/8 an inch, but uniformly raised.

Tonight it was about the size of a quarter, still oval in shape. There is a distinct hole in the middle of if, and another less noticable hole about 1/4 inch high from the center.

The swelling seems to have gone down, but the holes are perhaps even more noticable than before. But right now it's confused with some red marks where I touched the taser directly to my skin, and the belt/boxer marks right on my wasteline.

I'll see what it loos like in the morning, and if it still looks sketchy, I'll figure out how to get some pictures up.

When I was 21 I was bitten by a BRS on my thigh. Swelling, every color of the rainbow with red streaks, fever, vomiting, the whole nine yards. Oddly enough it healed on it's own.

Several years ago I was bitten by a spider (didn't see it) while in the garden. It was my left index finger and just kept getting worse. The doc gave me antibiotics and a tetanus shot. It healed, but I have a scar.

Last month I was bitten again while gardening, same hand. The 2nd day my hubby told me to make a poultice with MSG. It worked almost immediatly. This works for jellyfish bites, also.

Interesting thred.
