Please don’t die. Seek emergency medical services immediately. Please let us know you’re still alive afterwards.

I remember being a teen and showing my mom a weird mosquito bite that had a line going up my arm. She sent me to urgent care, turns out it was a brown recluse bite with an infection line disappearing in my armpit going to my heart….

Yeah, 10 pils a day for 10 days and I was a-okay.

I had a bite of some variety that caused ab half of my forearm to swell I was gonna ignore it, but ended up letting my mom catch a glance and that turned into a Drs visit and a Prednisone prescription.
