I think I got spider-bitten
Got a knot on my back just inside my right arm the size of an acorn.
OK, maybe a filbert.
Can't see it too well in the mirror, but it looks like one small 'hole' punched near the center, slightly depressed relative to the surrounding tissue, which is a little pink but not exactly red.
Gave it the 'ol High School Squeeze − as in zits − and a particulalry gross combination of runny and cheesy pus, along with a small amount of blood, erupted from the vent. Ewww!
Otherwise, the knot's pretty solid. Doesn't hurt much unless I touch it. (I know: Don't touch it − LOL)
My conclusion is probable spider bite.
Man, I hate spiders.
