    Something bit me the other night when I was sleeping. It looks like a spider bite but I'm not sure. I'm a little concerned because it was just one bite but now there appears to be a rash around it. I'm not even really sure if it is a spider bite. I didnt have it when I went to sleep but woke up with it. It's really itchy. Any ideas of what it could be?

    I'm not sure what type of spiders and such you've got out there...but when I was staying in FL there were some big old bugs that'd cause some problems now & then. As long as you don't have an immediate reaction to the venom, its probably just a local rash...

    Keep an eye on it over the next couple o' days and if its still itching, not a bad thing. If the rash starts spreading...hit up a doc ASAP...

    otherwise....home surgery....heh hehh

    It's still pretty itchy but the rash hasnt spread so hopefully home surgery wont be required.

    I got bit by something the other night and it didnt itch too much but there was a small rash around it also. Who knows? Probably was a spider bite. Unless you get somekind of reaction then no worries.....
