bites that just won't quit

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

Does anyone else have mysterious bug bites received at Baitcon that still haven't gone away?

I haven't been scratching them, and most of them have gone away but a few are still around, and one in particular took a turn for the worse today.

I *was* using hydrocortisone or lanacaine or after bite on it (depending on what was handy) and taking benadryl at night, but last night I didn't take any benadryl, and today I discovered that it had grown even larger than before! Not cool.

I can only assume that this one isn't a mosquito bite, since I've never had a mosquito bite that looked or behaved like this. :( What else was biting this summer at Baitcon?

I didn't go to Baitcon, but a coworker of mine did. He just turned up positive for Lyme disease. Hie yourself to a doctor and have them test you for Lyme disease! Even now isn't too late.

Thanks for the heads up, and please thank your coworker for me. I'm back from the clinic where they took my blood. I won't get the results for another week or two, but hopefully my weird splotches had nothing to do with tick bites!
