I Was Bit
Posted: 08-09-05 18:50pm

I was turning off the water outside and when I put my hand on the faucet my hand started feeling like it was on fire. I didn't see anything on me, but sure could feel a burning sensation. I can see where something had bit me...It's swollen and red. I live in michigan. Any ideas what might have bit me to cause this burning sensation?

I never gave that a thought....Don't think i've ever been bitten by a hornet and don't care to again. My hand, where it bit me, started feeling numb with a burning sensation and slowly started going up my arm and up just past my elbow. Very strange. Thank you for replying.

I don't think it would be a hornet, seeing as they are huge and I think you would have felt more than a burning sensation. Is your faucet by plants? I know certain types of plants have little microscopic hook like things on them and will hurt cause a burning sensation. Or it could have been some other bug if you still feel numb tomorrow go to the doctor!

Nasty Spider I Bet

Sound like bad spider to me. Maybe should go tomorrow get it checked out. If it was real bad, youd already be having trouble breathing, cold sweats, dizzyness or things like that.
