    Perhaps it was the strain of spider from arachnophobia because Rachel has not been heard from for a while.

    Anyone have a picture of Rachel for the milk carton?

    Sorry I never updated this in a timely manner. I'm fine!!!

    I went to the doc-in-the-box as planned, and they didn't actually give me anything. They just said it was good that I came in because it did appear to be a spider bite, but it doesn't look like it needs any medical treatment. Oookay.

    I thought it was kind of weird that they didn't suggest anything besides watching it closely, but thankfully they were right. Nothing has happened or worsened except a lot more bruising that varied a lot in color, size, and severity. It hurt for a few days as well. Now it's just a black circle and it appears to be healing a lot.

    A black circle? I'd still keep an eye on it. If it still hurts you may want to pop in for a recheck. I may be remembering incorrectly, but I thought recluse bites took on the shape of a bullseye more or less and then started to turn black? If it were a recluse bite they would almost certainly cut out the effected area.

    But anyway, glad to hear it's feeling better. Just keep a close eye on it!

    Sorry -- black circle as in it looks like a typical bruise. Blue would be a better description. There's not much to photograph.

    Phew, had me nervous there for a minute, as that's what mine looked like while the tissue and skin was dying/dead. I'm glad to hear things are healing and your ok

    Re: Spider bite

    Rachel,
    Glad to hear everything is OK.

    You say it looks like a bruise, but usually bruises start dark and then yellow as they progress. Have you pushed on the dark area to see if there is any give to the tissue beneath?

    If it feels really soft I would go have it looked at again.
