Every year for fourth of July, we go to my buddy's families farm. He has a local band, they play all night, shoot fireworks, etc. We always set up a bunch of tents and stay overnight. We stayed over night in the tents, packed stuff up and left Monday morning (the 5th). I had to tend bar, so I threw my clothes in the pile by the bed, showered and headed to work. The next day I woke up and my leg was itching real bad. I looked at the rash that was forming and I told my gf that I had a spider bite. I just got a biology degree so I've had my fair share of bites. This looked the worst I have had, so I thought it was a brown recluse. I know enough that if tissue doesn't start dying, I'm fine. After a couple of days it started to resemble poison ivy, having a bad rash. Few more days, it starts oozing the venom but I still wasn't sure. I just killed the brown recluse in my bathroom. Here is a picture of my leg. Today is 16 days since I was bit. It is healing pretty nicely and new skin is starting to come threw. The itch is going away. Figured you guys might be interested in seeing it.
