Was this the first time you have ever been bitten by a hoggie and how much benadryl did you take? You seemed to have a strong local reaction and the benadryl may have kept it from geting worse. Make sure to keep some around just in case.
I was bitten one other time by my first hoggie but she didn't get the fangs in, it was just a nip. So this was really the first time. I'll be avoiding it for sure lol.
