[Rreemo]

Take a Bayer aspirin and rub some dirt on it ya pussy!





















Seriously though....^^^^take the Doc's advice...that shit ain't looking good for your knee man!

[Hicompression]

So...who's heard from Barry? Does anyone know if mail is stacking up in his mailbox? We might need some paramedics to crawl through a window and check on him...

There is a product called Deamon. Pretty pricey, but it works. Spray around the house and up on the bricks as well. I spray my garage floor once a year, and there are dead bugs out there all the time. You usually have to go to a feed store or farm supply to get it. The stuff you get at Wally World will only piss them off. Good luck, and get to that doctor. What if it went all the way up to your Weiner ?

That's my biggest fear... to get bit on my Dick, Eyelid, or Ass cheek/Hole. Shit makes me itch!

The problem with that lesion in that location is that it can spread into your knee joint causing a septic joint which is an emergency. You should be on antibiotics (bactrim or clindamycin) and the wound should be incised and drained and packed.

Take it from the doc Barry!!! Go get that shit treated!!!

Doc, correct me if I am wrong. I had a MARSA infection on my calf that looked very much like his lesion. The MARSA infection ate through my muscle in the back of my calf. It now some three years later looks like a brown recluse bite.(basically a hole in my calf) MARSA destroys flesh,muscle and any other body part that becomes infected.
The ER doctors told me that MARSA is diagnosed as a spider bite a lot!

Pretty sure we've already come to this conclusion several times in this thread.

I had to go back to the doc. I got up to pee in the middle of the night and I blew blood out my knee when taking a piss. I am talking about a pretty good spray pattern. All I could thing is" Man that is fucked up" Doc sent me to an infection/disease specialist. Sure enough a staff infection was already in full bore. Even after 4 days of antibiotics.

If any of you have anything that looks like the bite I had, get your ass to the doctor.

I have an IV tube in my fucking arm now that runs up through my vein to within inches of my heart. I have to carry/sleep/shower with this in me along with a pump and a big bag of antibiotics. It is with me 24/7 for up to two weeks. Talking about having a bug fuck you up. LOL

Just sharing the knowledge from first hand experience.

Damn, thats crazy. What does the bite look like now?

Been on this IV since Monday. the big hole is healed up, but I still have 3-4 small holes that have been draining pretty much around the clock.(picture the nastiest zit with ice cream top heads) So the IV is doing it's job. But I still have swelling, hopefully that will start going down so I can get full use of my leg. This limping around with a cane wears a guy out.

lmao!

old enough that you know you need to have a Dr Pepper can next to that knee cap so we can have perspective.

lmao again!

Good luck. Those bites can go south in a hurry. I saw a patient with necrotic tissue from a Recluse bite when I was doing a clinical rotation at Parkland. Some people don't take it all that seriously until things start to get ugly.
