oh, joy
this week just keeps getting better. apparently the itchy welts on my legs aren't chigger bites after all...they are the result of a bacterial infection.i went to the doctor today and they ran some tests, and said it's a common household bacteria. i think what must have happened is that i didn't wash out my spray bottle well enough before i used it ( Read more... )
no'um, haven't - the doctor i got the pills from only tested the welts a little further north; he actually didn't seem that bothered about the ones on my feet and ankles and called them 'bruises' since they didn't blanche when pressed. another doctor i saw thought they were caused by a viral infection, since viral infections are what usually cause bpv. it fell to me to put two and two together and realize that all the welts must have come from the same place - duh.
i might go back to the doctor again tomorrow and ask for an antibiotic skin cream, but to be honest i don't know how much joy i'll have since they already gave me pills. as for the spray bottle, i'm frankly astonished that any bacteria could have survived after all the ice i put in it...then again, it was a day or two before i did that, so they were probably thriving pretty happily beforehand.
i really hate vancouver, kate. i hate this place and everything in it. *hates on vancouver and thinks horrid awful nasty evil things about it* >:P
