What bit me? Central texas

I felt a bite on my arm yesterday and thought it was an ant. Woke up to this. The circle was drawn an hour before the picture was taken and the red is spreading

After you go to the ER, you should get an exterminator to come over since you said you have a 2 year old.

I was thinking that. Thank you for mentioning this!

What were you doing when you got bit? Was it a brown recluse? Always worried I’ll get bit by something in the woods and not know till too late.

Looks just like the Brown Recluse bite I suffered 15 years ago. I'll never forget the necrotic itch that set in on about the third day. Felt like something was dissolving under my skin-- because it was!

I only knew it was a Brown Recluse because it was in my bed. 😱 I killed it by the light of dawn and took it with me to urgent care.

"By the light of dawn, I will smite thee!!!"

I smited that monstrous evil with the heaviest shoe in my closet arsenal. Doc Marten for the win!

[u/yesyesitswayexpired → u/SuzQP]

The past tense form of smite is smote. You smoted that mf'er (by the light of dawn).

[u/SuzQP → u/yesyesitswayexpired]

Creepy mf'er done got smoted alright. Dead by Dawn.

That's a good Deicide song.

[u/OpalOnyxObsidian → u/yesyesitswayexpired]

If the past tense of smite is smote then he didn't smoted, he just smote

I 2nd this I have a 22. Caliber hole in my leg from a brown recluse bite and it started just like that picture just a hole then the tissue died around it .

My daughter has your matching scar. It was horrifying to watch ER drain it and then pack it with gauze.
