thanks, ladies. The swelling is down a bit but is still there, I'm surprised it's taking so long I don't have any other known allergies but my mother is allergic to wasps and bees so I suspected I might over-react a bit. I'm home alone tonight but haven't felt unwell/dizzy/queazy/headachy and just a bit of rash in my face so I'm sure I'll be fine. Weird. No poisonous spiders here, only one mildly poisonous snake (and that it wasn't ).

I will mention it to my doc, good tip.
