I was bitten by a Brown Recluse.....
......happened over 30 years ago. The doctor opined that it was either a young spider, or one that was partially crushed and not able to inject a full dose. Either way, the results were not pretty (I sat on it....sigh). They had to excise dead skin and flesh in a tender spot.
Ever since then, whenever I'm bit by a house spider or mosquito it means days and days of terrible itching, swelling, and hard knots. Seems as though that bite made me hyper-sensitive to insect venom.
At least my heinie has healed back to its former globular beauty.
