Brown Recluse Spider Bite Experience:Fri-09-02-11 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

wademercer: Time for these to retire. Feel sad that a few cachers have littered the Dfw area with thousands of poorly rated caches... all to appease a few loopers... not sure how you can brag about a hundred or more loops when most are from falsely rated caches! Also frustrating that the dfw cachers aren’t discouraging this bad behavior. I feel the north Texas geocaching association should be spearheading a movement to encourage cachers to rate their caches appropriately. To have some pride in the cachers and caches they represent. Instead, they actively participate in their Denton overrated events, and enjoy another false loop. They should be discouraging inaccurate cache ratings. Txga leadership should be modeling the best geocaching behavior for others to follow. Step up.

Friday was a little hectic so I really never noticed my shin much. It did not hurt, and I did not notice it while showering at the gym. I was running behind a little so I really was in a rush, and really did not even think about it at all.

That night at the Kid Rock concert my leg began to hurt. It also began to swell. I found a quiet place at Gexa to really check it out this time. I noticed a large lump around what previously was just a sore area, the center of which was beginning to collapse. It was not open or draining, but was a lot more tender to the touch than previous days. This was the first time I thought about it being an insect bite of some kind!.

After the concert I went home and checked it out again. Although it had not changed much from what I saw a few hours ago at the concert, it was dramatically different from what I saw the previous days!

I've inlcuded a few pictures of my experience on the "Brown Recluse Spider Bite Experience:Tue-09-13-11" GC349F7 cache page. Since some people may not appreciate them (they are a little gross) they are part of the gallery rather than being displayed on the main cache page. Ive added a few notes to them as well!

The container used in this series of caches are the actual containers my medications came in. I hope you have enjoyed the series!
