Spider bite or mosquito?

[joenali]

I drew a circle around it to see if it gets any bigger. So far it hasn't.

Horsefly, maybe? A little girl in one of my summer camps at work got bit by one...that thing swelled! It looks similar.

[joenali]

No horseflies around here.

haha, no idea then.

I get bit by GA skeeters all the time. It doesn't look like a skeeter bite to me. If it really is bothering you, I'd have it checked out by the dr.

Yeah if it continues to swell I'm going. So far it seems pretty stable.

Do you have yellow flies? Probably not, huh? All the scary, nasty, annoying, bugs stay down here. It looks like more than a mosquito bite. Does it hurt? Itch?

It was itchy yesterday and small. It's a little bit sore, not bad though.

No yellow flies either.

Sigh. The west coast is a magical place.

Isn't it?? No nasty ass bugs!!

Do you normally swell up from mosquito bites? They barely bother me (I think it's because I grew up in Minnesota where it is our state bird) but I know a lot of people who are from here that swell up quite a bit. And it often stays for a few days.

Even if it's a spider bite I'd say it's rather unlikely it is one of the "bad" ones. Hope it gets better!

It doesn't look like the spider bites I've seen. Those are usually very circular and they hurt instead of itch. They look similar to a boil.

Is it shiny? My spider bites tend to be shiny, but I have no idea what types of spiders we have here versus what you have there.

I swell up from mosquito bites badly. Hoping that's what it is!
