Well, looks like I'm going to have to keep Paying my Life Insurance
and high Gas prices. It appears I'm going to Live :P

He was Pretty Certain it was a Tic

But said they need to be attached for at least 24 Hours before they Transmit
Lyme disease. the first 24 to 48 hours they are Sucking blood.
It isn't till they fill up & Start spitting some back thay Transmit the Disease.

He also said the Test for Lyme didn't Come back yet, But because they
took it on Saturday already It will be Negative. If I got bit Friday like I think.

Told me If within the Next month, (Since I never get the flu),
I get Flu Symptoms to come back.
Said Lyme is Easy to Cure. almost any Antibiotic will cure it
in its early stages.

Also said IF it was a Spider & it starts Draining to come back.

He is certain it is Healing.
and said all blood tests they did send are Good.

good deal. those damn deer tick are so small you are lucky if you notice them. wood ticks are a real pain in the arse too but at least they are big enough to see. glad to hear you will be ok.

Yea Everyone is telling me That.
Wasn't my Regular Doctor.
She is on Vacation.
I guess it realy dosn't Matter what Bit me as long
as it heals.

& Yea he said Keep taking them, & Hot Compresses to draw the Antibiotic
to the Wound.

 

[Mental Granny]

Good news but still keep a very close eye on it and take the meds! And keep stuff on it, cause to me it stll looks like a spider bite! But I really am glsd it is healing!

 

[mastereagle22]

The more I think about it the more I think you got a quack and not a real doctor. But that's just my opinion.

 

[bootybay]

Jeff, don't laugh at me on this one.. its not a cure all... but it is a proven old old fashioned remedy.. get a bottle of pure essential Lavender oil.. NOT fake.. it has to be pure essential oil.. Lavender is known for drawing out infections.. depending upon the size of your bite, put several drops on it..cover it with a bandage for three days..change the bandage 3 x a day and repeat exact process.. on the 4th day, take bandage off and still keep on putting few drops of the lavender oil on it..but let it air out..keep it up till is cured.. but in all honesty.. I would still seek another opinion as well.. I would hate to hear bad news about you or end up in the hospital... when will your regular dr. be back?

by the way, my son had a infected burn.. I used the lavender oil on it..it drew out the infection..however a spider bite is different, getting into one blood stream is a different story. so please get a second opinion.

I agree on this one too, Bootybay. Another good one is Tea Tree Oil, very good at infections. But like you
said it has to be quality oil, not off the shelf at some discount store. Most of these use solvents to extract
the oils & are not good to apply to the skin because of the solvents. You need good therapeutic grade oils
from a trusted source, not cheap but a lot of advantages to them. Have been using them for years.
Hope it clears up soon, Jeff. I think had it been a brown recluse bite, it would have been far worse by now.
Unless it was a young or smaller spider or if little venom was injected. Glad it looks some better.

 

[jeff of pa]

was there yesterday yet

woke up this morning with nothing but a scar.

 

[bootybay]

thats great news Jeff...lets just hope it stays that way for ya... phewwwwwwwww

 

[jeff of pa]

when going to bed last night I noticed a scab hanging on
just enough to hurt when I pulled on it.
Was going to Yank it off
but decided to wait.
guess it was the right move

Thanks B_b & Everyone !

Jeff

yesterday in centralia i'm walking under trees & all of a sudden
my hat catches a web & I see something heading for the side
of my head, but within seconds get destracted
and forget.

about 10 minutes later while talking to rich & Dave
I take my hat off to look
and see a white Spider with long leggs
on the underside of my hats Brow
tagging along for a ride.
lucklly he wasn't a Biter

 

[flyinguy]

hi friend, hope you do well. i don't know what got you but not a spider. they cause necrotic (dead tissue) and it turns black. Bill

 

[Mental Granny]

Jeff, I am just glad that you are alright! If y do any more walking through webs or under trees, ect stop & shake your hat off .

Anbd if your doin any clean out in your house shake everything and pull your bedcovers back and look real good before climbing in!
