Same damned thing that bit me on the hand and my whole hand puffed up, but
this time it's bitten me right in the middle of my shin. :-(
A 2mm initial bite spot (actually, there are 2 of them, only one has reacted
/very/ badly) has turned into a dark red patch about 2cm across, a raised
bump about 6cm x 10cm. And it aches.


ow!

The bite on my leg was itchy so I scratched it over the weekend... (It
hadn't hurt at the time) and then it went all red and sore and hot.
Trip to the pharmacy got me some hydrocortisone cream.

By Tuesday morning it was red hot and spreading out so I went to the
walk in centre where they gave me antibiotics.
