I'm in my home office in boxer shorts and notice a silver dollar size bulls eye right on my upper thigh. Find a dead spider (those clear house spiders that you see at the corner of the wall and ceiling) dead in the fold of my shorts.
Knowing it's a spider I don't worry about Lyme, but the bite doesn't look good.
Fly to Toronto the next day for 4 days of business.
The bulls eye keeps getting bigger and redder. But as I'm out of country I really don't want to check out another health care system.
It's getting bad so I cut my trip short and fly back in the morning instead of waiting for the evening.
Get home and show my step-son this wicked bite. It's now about 8" around.
Go right to the hospital.
They freaked, but it turned out to be just a skin infection (ceullulitus) and a treatment of CIPRO cleared it right up.
