Man what a wuss to make such a big deal of a little ole' ant bite!!! -Hey, as a serious side note though, ant bites don't have a black dot in the middle, and many doctors are quite CLUELESS to spider bites. Just tell her to keep watching it. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leapdog 0 #78 February 23, 2006 Yup she knows to keep watching, we talked about it. I actually told her that is was probally ant bites because she had more than just the two bites. Also some people have worse reactions to fire ant bites that the norm. She could be one of them. And poison spiders actually work faster then what she was describeing as progression of these.

marks 0 #82 February 23, 2006 QuoteAnd poison spiders actually work faster then what she was describeing as progression of these. not true, ant bites usually work faster, a brow recluse bite is different in many cases, but what she described wasnt an ant bite, it is more like a recluse bite.

RkyMtnHigh 0 #83 February 23, 2006 QuoteYou're a dork Yes Jeff is a dork Okay..now for the verdict. I went to the ED this morning, after three hours of waiting around...the nurse and doc checked out the wound and said that it is their opinion that it's an allergic reaction to fire ant bites and that I get a tetnus (sp?) shot and a script for antibiotics. He said that the appearance will last approx 3 wks and to expect scars, keep it clean and covered if possible and keep an eye on the infection spreading if I see streaking or increased redness/inflammation. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't as bad as some of the pictures I've seen on the net but it was pretty ugly. It was the size of a dime, very black in the center. It took over a month of heal, it left a scar half the size of a dime. It took over two month to heal. It's still quite dark though, the scar which is left.
