Question something BIT me..INPUT...???

Hey ya'll...for all you 'medics' out there! I know there are a few....

I noticed yesterday I had this annoying bite on my leg. No biggie...well, last night it woke me out of a dead sleep(that is NOT an easy task.) It was sore as hell and really tender.
Well throughout the day it is now swelled up about 3/4 to an inch diameter around the bite and like a little red line coming off the top right hand side and the bottom left hand side, sideways. Looks like a hurricane, when they track them on the chart.

Its really tender, and it hurts my bottom half of my leg when I walk...When I poke around on it, its kinda fluidy. Heres some pics...(YUK) dont ya hate when people do this?
The yellow pic actually shows the discoloration of the redness a little better than the clear pic. But its hard to get the right lighting that close up....any idea what it could've been, and do ya'll think its anything I should be concerned about??????????
THANKS FOR THE INPUT! TNT

ignore the fact that i need to shave.

aren't those "lines" called toxic striations? when the poison injected into you moves through the tissue?? You might want to get that checked out, you don't want it to be a bad poisonous spider bite... Good luck!

Question dunno..

Maybe I'm just paranoid after that horrible story about the spider that Rebel posted...
I guess if I wake up w/ a hole in my leg, i'll know.
Someone just told me to lance a needle and then stick it in there and pour some alcohol or peroxide in it!!! Ive never liked doing that stuff....Gives me the heeby jeebies....... ya think I should do what he said, or just wait and see how it looks in the morning?

Default Spider

I agree with everyone else, my bet is a spider bite. As long as it stays localized, I wouldn't do anything to it. Definitely don't lance it. If your leg starts to swell or anything or you run a fever, then seek medical attention ASAP. My bet is it will just gradually go away. You could put hot wet compresses on it. That may help some.

spider, hun.

talkin from experiance, got bit by one in my sleep las year, got red and sore, but not deathly ill persay jus naseous and hot. if your alergic to bites or stings, go to the doctor, if your feelin ok an your limbs aren't fallng off in black stumps, you probly got bit by a lil non poisonous one, an it should go away in a day or so. pay attention to it and go to the ER if it starts spreading.

sucks don't it?

Cut off the leg now before it gets the other leg!

...its a spider bite, you dont even seem allergi, nor does it seem poinsonous. Itll be gone in a week.

Talking THANKS FOR THE INPUT...

I do have horrible allergies to everything which is why I had to quit doing haircolor at the shop 8 years ago...but I have NEVER been bitten by anything since I developed them...used to carry and Epi-Pen w/ me...my leg is still there...and REV..i put a hot compress on it and it was so damn hot, I burnt the HELL out of it...man, what pain!
I'll sleep on it and see what happens tomorrow...

I missed ya'll......... I've been so tied up since last Wed. w/ my 20 year Reunion...I have not been on line that much here to post....Had a BADAS$ time...It was VERY COOL!
They had a questionere about the classmates...one was
"This Classmate worked on Jim Porters Sprint Race Crew in Ventura California..." needless to say, I think they were TOTALLY shocked about my CAR stuff! It was multiple choice! Dont think that many guessed it! LOL!
On a side note....on the way to Eckerds to get some last minute things to get ready, I was in a rush Saturday night....
I jumped out of my car. (had on jeans and boots.) tripped over the Curb thingy that keeps you from driving" into " the store! BUSTED my arse!!!!!! BAD.....skinned both knees and bruised them (through my jeans w/out ripping them!) and fell on my left hand. I have NEVER BEEN SO EMBARRASED IN MY LIFE! (even worse than what I did at Sky's shop!)Now, my thumb keeps going numb....but............ gee, maybe that has something to do w/ why I never made it for Cheerleader!!!!!!!!! LOL......

Default Chimney?

Or maybe that unknown thing in the chimney could have sneaked into the house and taken a little bite?

Not trying to scare you and i'm not a medical tech or paramedic or anything but i've always heard anytime you have something infected that has red lines running from it its the beginning of blood poisioning ... If it were me i'd get it checked
