Thread: Spider Bites

Thank you Robert.

It looks like very bad bite..
i’ve got this bite on my stomach that’s been itchy for days. it looks exactly like a spider bite, two little swollen punctures. i’m covered in bug bites from the #### that’s been getting into the house, so why not another spider? it’s only a few inches above where i had a staph infection, and i’m not too worried about it because like i said it’s been there for days, and the last time i was bitten, it was nasty and huge and very much resembled that staph infection. sometimes the scar from my first bite still itches, and i don’t know if that’s something mental or not. i’m pretty sure i’d know if it was still infected, considering it’s been nearly a year. i’ve been keeping it clean and watching it.

i wish that i still had a picture of my old bite, back before it was lanced. it made a giant pustule and i put a hot towel on it to help with the swelling and it brought out all of these tiny pus-filled holes under a clear, deflated bubble. i wanted to pop it so badly. it was so gross looking, that i deleted the picture.

i got staph because i had a furuncle caused by and ingrown hair on my lower stomach that i dried to cut open and drain myself. stupid me, trying to get some sort of weird satisfaction out of picking at my skin. i will admit that once i was numb enough, it was pretty awesome watching them lance both infection. changing out my own packing was not fun, though. neither was not being able to bend over or sit from the pain.

did i mention that i got both of these at the same time, only a couple of days after fracturing my talus and having to wear a boot? last april suuuuuucked.

now my skin is crawling. blech.
