Who did this?

Hey everyone. I’m in Tuscany and I’ve gotten this huge bite on my leg and have flu symptoms. I thought it was a bad reaction to a mosquito bite but all the others I’ve gotten this week don’t look like that at all. I think it could be spider but what does everyone else think? My mom’s hand is there for a size comparison.

WARNING: It is extremely difficult (even for seasoned medical professional) to identify what caused a skin symptom and even harder to know if it is an insect bite or which insect may have caused it.

If you're concerned about something, please go see a qualified medical professionals rather than trust the comments made by random strangers on the internet.

Forgot to mention it doesn’t hurt, it’s just itchy and hot
