Hi All,
I apologize that I have not posted my usual schedule this week. Saturday at camp, I was bitten about seven times on my right elbow, by either a spider or blackflies.
Whatever it was, I was extremely allergic to it and by Monday evening, my elbow was swollen twice its normal size and my skin had turned a deep red like a third degree burn, and the bites were oozing brown junk. I started taking Benedryl and lots of it and went to see my doctor Tuesday morning.
They gave me a shot and some steroid creme for the wounds and I spent two days in Benedryl stupor. Wow.
My friends thought that maybe a Brown Recluse spider was the culprit, but who knows. We do have them in the Eastern UP so it could have been.
Anyway, I am feeling better and will resume my regular schedule next week.

If there is ANY chance it was the Brown and the wound doesn't start healing pronto get thee to a doctor and fast.
I'm sorry you had a bad reaction and hope you are feeling better soon.
Brigid,
Oh no kidding, I looked up Brown Recluse Spider on the internet and the graphic photos of the bite and how it rots your flesh scared the heck out of me. Thank goodness it wasn't and the wounds are now almost healed up.
Thanks for the concern.
Cathy
