After 18 days this blister has finally deflated and is on the way to healing. A wound like this can become infected, so diligently watch for new irritation or swelling. While the culprit was never identified, the victim of this bite attributes it to an 8-legged critter spotted in the house. She also says the outline of the wound remains over a year later.
