Check Your Sleeping Bag

yesterday...about 4 days after bite

Check Your Sleeping Bag

today with white pus filled in the middle

Tell us where your bite is (arm, leg, nose, whatever)

Right side of right leg

Why I think it's a spider bite

I think it is a spider bite because for 1 I had went camping...the tent and sleeping bag had been stored away in an outside garage..I woke up the next morning from camping that night and realized I had a round red sore on my leg..that was 5 days ago..since it has gotten bigger and now has a white tip in the middle which looks like pus inside..it hurts extremely and is swollen.

What happened

It started out small with only a little pain but as the days goes by it seems to be getting worse. Nothing yet haven't been to the E.R or doctor yet. Kinda hoping it wont get any worse..but I figure I will eventually have to have it checked out and hopefully not before it's too late.

Advice

  • always check your tent and sleeping gear when ever you camp out or will be using it...I was drinking that night or I would have
  • Know your surroundings before you set up camp as well.
