Why I think it's a spider bite
I'm not sure what i have gotten bitten by. All my research has been directed at spiders.
What happened
I first got bit in the end of march cleaning out my closet, on my ankle numerous times. On Easter Sunday I went to the ER. They gave me an antibiotic. I was concerned for the skin damage. It's still healing. Then the other day I cleaned out my closet and once again the little bugger got me on the inside of my elbow. This one is much worse. I have now declared the closet home of "the ninja bug" and have called an exterminator.
Advice
Shake your clothes out before putting them on, especially if you live in wooded areas.
Rod Brouhard, First Aid Guide, says:
Ninja spiders are the worst. They can be any species. I'm pretty sure it's a calling for them, with lifelong training and discipline.
They still squish pretty easily, however.
