Not again…
Back in 2004 I got bitten on my hand by some insect or perhaps a spider, I don’t know what it was. But the result was an itching painful inflammation that kind of took over my hand and looked not unlike the following picture (I sincerely apologise for the poor taste of newspaper article, I have a warped sense of humour):
Well I got bitten again last night and it seems the same sort of thing is going to happen. My hand is pretty itchy and already it has puffed up a bit. If it gets worse I will take a photo to share. I have put some antihistamine creme on it (thanks ma) but it’s not really responding to that. I really hope the dull pain does not get into the joints again, that was kind of worse than the itching before.
My hand is fully recovered now. It was itchy for a couple of days and it puffed up a little but now it is totally normal save a small bump where the bite was made.

Take your hand down the pharmacy tomorrow. I kind of can’t believe you haven’t already done that.
The above photo is from 2004, my hand is starting to look rather like it though, same hand too. If it becomes as painful as it was last time I will be going to the pharmacy, I wish I knew what caused it.
Go to the doctors, it could be infected!!! I had one like that and had to have Penicilin to get it better.
Go to the pharmacy tomorrow, to be on the safe side.It will put our minds at rest.
OK gang, relax it’s gotten better today. If it does start to get worse I will go to the pharmacy. In Canada when I went with the hand as it was in the photo they just told me to rub antihistamine on it, said not much else you can do.
I don’t think it is infected otherwise it would hurt much more, it’s just an allergic reaction.
