To stay healthy and sane, I've started going on lunchtime walks. Nothing intense just a quick jaunt in my neighborhood, maybe 1-2 miles. It's actually quite cathartic. I can escape the stress of the day and get some cardio.
Today as I was mindlessly roaming the empty streets I suddenly felt a SHARP pain in my right bicep. Like it was so bad I slapped myself because clearly I was being attacked.
I had on a long sleeve shirt and fully expected to see a creature smooshed on my shirt or a bee or something. When I looked nothing was there. Hmmmm. I rubbed my arm for a sec and it seemed fine so I continued on.
The day was absolutely chaotic after I got back and I forgot about it. Flash forward to shower time. As I was scrubba dub dubbing I had a sharp pain in my arm.
When I looked I saw a fairly large "pimple" complete with a decent sized white head.
I was careful as I cleaned it and the rest of me. When I got out to better lighting I tried to examine it further. It was warm and hurt to the touch.
As I was messing with it the white head came off and it started bleeding.
I am almost certain its a Spider Bite, so I cleaned it well, put ointment on it, and took a tylenol.
Let's hope it's just a house spider or something my weird skin had a reaction to and I didn't walk into a more venomous creature....
UPDATE:
Next day, swelling is down A LOT but I can clearly see two tiny punctures so yea if I start literally climbing the walls, we know why.
