Trip to ER

Solo, that sounds awful! I'm glad you got medical attention and treatment! Let us know how you heal up.

Hugs and healing happy butterflies,

Solo, the same thing happened to me about a month ago, but on my arm. When it started spreading I got nervous, and then when it started to branch out I went to the doctor. The first round of antibiotics didn't work very well, so they had to put me on something a little stronger, and that cleared it up...although there is still a small red bump at the sting site.

I work at an infectious disease research facility, and I'm mad at myself for not visiting my colleagues in the bacterial diseases group, it would have been cool to find out exactly what infected me...I know, I’m such a nerd

Please keep an eye on your infection, I wish you better luck than I had with the antibiotics!

Oh, dear.
Cellulitis will keep you down for about a week.
I had it and was miserable. What a bizarre way to get it!

Did you get take-home antibiotics?

For anyone who's not familiar (and if you're interested) you can read about it here

This started with what looked like a zit
Cellulitis is no fun

I had the same reaction last spring from a wasp. Definitely was ugly looking.

hey! I resemble that!

Mr. Silver, it was likely a reaction to bacteria on whatever object "stung' Solo.
