I live in south florida. On saturday
night I was outside at night time anyways
later that night my elbow was hurting me
and there was a small bump there. Well
in the morning when I woke up my arm
really hurt. Looked at the elbow and I
was amazed at what I saw the little bump
is now the size of a quarter alittle
redish in color but mostly white,then
there is a little red mark in the middle
of that but then around that about the
size of my hand is a bruise. Its huge.
And the bruise is spreading and getting
bigger. The brusie dont hurt but the
bump really hurts. I didnt bump my arm
or anything like that. Does anybody have
any idea what bit me and what should I do
besides cutting off my arm. Lol
thank you
hope you all can help

It sounds like a spider bite if it is
bruising in the area. Certain spiders
can cause breakdown of blood vessels
(bruising) you should see a doctor asap
and make sure to note any symptoms. If
the bruising spreads I would even go to
the er even. If you are feeling flu like
watch for this as well. Many people
ignore spider bites, however they can
cause serious harm from some and in
certain people.
It could be many things as well, some
people react differently to bites of any
nature in immune response. However if
this never happened before and certainly
in case of bruising, get medical attention
asap. Please let us know how you are
doing.
Wish you well-kris I live in south
florida as well. Many things here to bite
you I found :roll:

I think you should go to the hospital as
soon as possible,just to be on the safe
side.To me it sounds like a spider bite
but I could be wrong.The same thing
happened to a friend,she felt a bite,didnt
seen anything,there was bruising around
it.The next day she was feeling
funny,almost faint. And she went to
emergency and they said it was a good
thing she went when she did cause it was
causing problems with air going in the
blood vessels .So they caught it in
time..Good luck...
