[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 381853, member: 7956"] I'm no insect expert, but generally if it was toxin related the pain would have come on much more rapidly, and if it was something nasty you would be dead by now. Some spiders can be blamed for nasty bites, but the actual wound is caused by bacteria on their fangs, not the actual venom, so one person being bitten by the exact same species can have utterly different symptoms. Sounds like an infection related issue (due to puss), go see the doctor as marksman said anti biotics would most likely be the best course of action. Lower back? Were you camping? could it have been in a chair when you sat down? [/QUOTE]
