[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 529048, member: 8767"] Hot nights here in SA, Kato wanted (needed) to go for a hunt. So out we went and swung around a local park buried in the 'burbs'. Kneeling down to dig a target for her, I felt a sting or bite on the leg just below my knee, lifting it Kato saw a bee and checking it she thought there was a stinger on the skin, which wiped off.. Now being hot, I was wearing shorts and had the bare knee on the ground, I now suspect a spider bite as it has become inflamed and feels a lot worse than 2 days ago. Drawing a circle around the inflamed area last night, it had doubled in size from the size of a 50c to a palm. Saw the Vet this morning and she put me on antibiotics, along with the 'Tetanus' shot. Not happy as it seems to be getting worse (in my head anyway). NEW RULE : ALWAYS cover the legs detecting anywhere ! :mad: Nights haul - $2.00 in coin Medicals - $25 so far.... :) [/QUOTE]
