Wow. Now I know what bit me last summer--not once, but 7 times, all around the belt line on my left side. The bite and the scarring looks just like yours. I didn't notice anything for a day or 2, then there was excruciating pain on my side for about 3 days, accompanied by headache and malaise. The wounds took about 4 months to heal completely, and even now, a year later, there is clear red scarring.
