bites

[Rolfe 2]

It looks like an allergic reaction to an insect bite of some sort for sure...........could it be a horse fly bite? These don't itch a lot but can cause inflamation and swelling. Get it checked out anyway.......to be on the safe side.

that was my first guess

[sue 1]

does it have one or two punctures, and is it filled with any sort of fluid, puss, blood etc? It's hard to see from the pictures

 

 

 

there is 2 wounds look like they are filled with a fluid its too hard to tell my leg is so hard

[sue 1]

thanks everyone for the advice the only stuff i could find in the cupboardwas wound powder or purple spray lol mybe a few drops of frontline on the neck for me in future ,i will try the chemist tomorrow

if its a bite /reaction of any kind then pissing on it should help as the ammonia in the piss will conteract the poison .not joking neither !!!!

and you never saw anything on or around you?

 

Have you tried to prick it with a needle to see what comes out?

 

Is it hot and infected looking, or is the color just "color"?

of course if its a midge bite - or several in one place - and you scratched at it too much and too hard then this will happen. but it looks like a chemical burn to me.

one nat does that to me killers

rinse it with warm salt water or pack it with epsom salts

if you mean swollen how much, and are there any adders around your part looks like a fang bite to me could be a juvenile from last year

spider bites - rather most insect bites - wont hurt right away.

and with spiders you may not react until the next day.

horse fly bites can do some nasty damage and are warm or hot to the touch. i knew a girl who was bitten on the toe by one of those giant horse flies and she couldnt walk on that foot for a week. couldnt even get her shoe on.

 

serious if you havent got ammonia then try the onion or a hot tea bag as a poultice. depending on the bug that bit you it will either get better or worse. a hemotoxic spider bite will rot the flesh all around that area in no time. i dont know if you have spiders quite like we do... it might not get any uglier than that. but you dont want to wait and find out if it will!!

 

my husband was bitten on the face and arms by a brown recluse when he was asleep. quick action was the only thing that kept him from looking the damned phantom of the opera.

and if you are from the green emerald island dont be afraid of adders, saint patrick chased them all away
