Daughter / Possible Spider bite

Permanently deleted user
I picked my daughter up yesterday from her camping trip (they had actually returned the day before but she stayed at her friends 1 extra night)

When I picked her up she complained that she got bit by something on her foot. It had a tiny red spot and was itchy.

I picked up some benydril to put on it.

This morning the red spot while still very faint is a bit bigger and it is still hurting her and itching.

I doubt that it is a Brown Recluse as it is only a faint redish pink color with only very minor swelling and does not have any blueish tint like a bruse like I have seen from a recluse bite.

Any Ideas?

I am wondering if I need to take her to the emergency room to get it looked at.

    She's be missing her entire foot at best if that were the case. Ooo, I did not go there. Oh yes I did.

    I guess it could be possible that it was a mosquito.

    That is the whole thing, we have no idea what it was.

    My brother is at work and gets off at about 8am and home by about 9am. He is a paramedic with lots of medical training. I may try and wait it out to let him take a look at it as he may have a better idea of what is going on.

    I'm thinking a very small Chupacabra (probe) bite.

    Their range is more Southern, though.

    You know there was talk of a bright light in the sky the night she got bit!

    Could be an alien probe of some sort![;)]

    Maybe I should have her flown to Area 51 for further evaluation![:D]

    I had an Air Force instructor down at Sheppard AFB that was stationed at Area 51 at one time, he wasn't right in the head.

    I was bit by several spiders while mountain biking once. They counted twelve bites -- they think that I brushed up against a nest. No clue what they were, but I was so tired and I had red blisters on my legs.

    I wound up going to the ER. It was a very smart move.

    ...just keep an eye on it. I doubt it is anything to worry about.

    Could be a chigger or a tick.

    Being a tad overprotective, Dad ??

    I know the feeling.

    Wait til she's 15.

    Well after my brother looked at it he did recomend to take her to a doctor for evaluation.

    Went to the ER and they figure a spider bite of some sort.

    Gave her a bunch of meds and creams.

    If it does not start looking better in 2 days I'm to take her back to the docs for further care.
