FUCK. I am pretty sure the bite is a brown recluse bite. There's potential that it's the bite of a similar yet less DEADLY AND DEBILITATING(which the brown recluse is) "Hobo" spider, but I don't want to risk it.
The antibiotics seem to be working ok because the red spot looks better, but it still feels slightly swollen (there's probably a nice little POCKET OF FUCKING INFECTION swirling about under the bite area). I'll keep changing the bandage a lot and keep on the 2 antibiotics a day regimen, but just to be sure I'm going to LSU on Monday, whether it looks/feels better or not.
It pisses me off that no one at my house seems to be taking it seriously. Every website I've checked says to get medical attention when you receive a bite.
Fucking dolts.
