What bit me??? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

vainchick5 · 07-13-2007, 09:09 AM

Ok I didn't have them until I went to sleep and in the middle of the night I started itching and woke up to swollen arm, as you can see, swollen hand with red big bumps and swollen feet with red big bumps. I checked the babies for fleas and I think the bites are way too big for fleas. I was thinking spider?Here are some pics I just took while at work..lol

The pics aren't very clear. They don't look like pustules. They look like mosquito bites.

But, I'm NOT a doc.

OMG What in the hell are Chiggers???!!!!! I'm on a second story apartment with an apartment below me and above me so I don't know how some of these bugs get in. I left my window open to sleep the last few nights, but I have a screen. OMG I am freaking out. No visible bugs that I've noticed, no fire ants or anything. I found a spider in my room like last week and my fiance flushed it in the toilet. What would I do without my bug-terminator..lol
That big ole bump on my arm is a swollen bite, I have skinny arms..lol..and those red dots are the bites.

Looks like gnat or mosquito bites. Do your palm or the bottom of your feet itch. If they do it is an allergic reaction andI would take a Benadryl and see if it doesnt stop itching. Put some toothpaste on the bites if you dont have Lanacane or something. That will stop the itching.

Oh, and I forgot to say...I can't see anything b/c the big fat ROCK is blocking my view!

Funny you should say that I just noticed that my blood isn't collection back into my feet. You know when you press on your skin and it turns white but when you let go turns red really quick, cause the blook collects in that area again? Me feet are YELLOW undernead and it's taking FOREVER for the blood to re-collect in that area, is that normal?????? OMG I'm freaking out.

If it's a spider bite, you will see two fang marks. Try a magnifying glass if you need to, though usually they're pretty easy to see.

I'd go to the doc and at least get 'em looked at. Like V said, it could be an allergic reaction to something.

No, that's not normal. That's called your capillary refill. If blood doesn't come back within 2 or 3 seconds the blood is not properly circulating to your body. You're not having trouble breathing are you? Do you have any allergies?

It's taking almost a minute!!!! No trouble breathing and I'm only allergic to Codeine which I haven't had.

Do you have one of those Emergi Centers near you? I'd go check just in case.
