I got bit?!


Question:

I got bit?

I got bit by something. It's red around it then white, then there's the actual bite. What do you think it is. It happened in the pool.


Answers:

Did it hurt when it bit you? If not, it isn't a bee/wasp/hornet.
If it was, scrape the stinger out with a credit card [ pulling it out with tweezers actually injects more venom ].
Wash with soap and water, rinse well, and check it frequently.
If it spreads or swells rapidly, go to urgent care.
Otherwise, put antibiotic ointment and a bandaid over it.
Check it frequently tomorrow, too; and go to the doc if it looks worse.
[ My guess - spider bite: they don't hurt until later, and they turn lovely colors ].
