Have any of you ever been spider bit? I have no clue why it is, but I have been spider bitten 4 times in the past 10 years. The most recent was a little over a week ago. If you have never been spider bitten do your best to NEVER get bitten. You do not usually feel the bite when it happens. Shortly there after it will start to swell and sometimes itch. It will then begin to sink down in the middle like someone took a scope out of your skin. It can become infected. If it shows red lines coming off it or feels hot GO TO THE DOCTOR right away. I had one spider bite that took months to heal even after I got the antibiotics for it and it sunk so deep into my leg just walking on it hurt. I am worried this one may be another one like that one, because it is right over my thigh muscle on the top of my leg. Every time I move my leg it stretches and pulls the skin on the bite.
I went to take my shower this morning and found a spider about the size of a pencil eraser in my shower. Needless to say it is DEAD now. It is like I always say I do not mind sharing the world with any living thing BUT MY HOUSE IS OFF LIMITS. Any pests move into my house they must have a death wish. I have spoken to my land lord about the problems we have with spiders and ants in this unit, but he just says go buy some insecticide. Sooooooooooo I have come up with a plan. He is out of the office till Friday, but my plan is to go see him Friday and take the bandage I have been warring on my leg off so he can get a good look at what happens to me when I get bit. I then plan to point out the other 3 scars on my body and tell him this is a health hazard and needs taken care of. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I am thinking if he sees with his own eyes what is happening maybe just maybe he will do something about it if I am lucky.
In the mean time I plan to start applying baking soda pastes to the wound to try to draw the poison out and aid in the healing of it. If that does not work I may end up going to the doctor about it which I am not looking forward to.
If anyone can tell me why I get bit so much I would love to know.
