The pain woke the reader in the middle of the night and developed into a bullseye pattern by morning. At the end of the day it's a blister. The reader says it will go on to pop and leave her with a scar three years later.
She describes the scar as a "crater."
There's no way to identify what, if anything, bit her. She says there was never any major complications: no headaches or dizziness. The reader believes she may have acquired a bug or a spider bite from a pile of scrap wood chips she was shoveling the day before the bite showed up.
