I never have met someone that has had that so I really don’t know much of it. Let’s say that is the cause. Does that mean I have to see a doctor? Or is there another way?

I don’t like doctors oddly given my job. But this damn bite may be getting infectious. The right side mark seems to show signs of infection. So what I am going to do is make a slight incision and use hydrogen peroxide one maybe two times to clean the wound. After that is done I don’t know if I should lay in bed or walk around? Does someone have somewhat of a opinion on this.

Hey man, common sense here, how you doin'? Long time no talk... Just wanted to say if its really concerns you to a level you actually ask about it on ATS, then go to the ER pronto, or you can cut it like you said you will thats all good too, unless sepsis kicks in, that case at least you wont have to worry about new shoes even maybe glows either...

I am going to see the doctor tomorrow after I leave my last meeting. I do not see any signs of blood poising. I do have a decent sized bruise around the bite mark. That is most likely why I thought it was infected. Something funny that happened when I called my doctor. He asked how I have treated the wound and I told him what I did, He called me a stupid but brave. Anyways we are going to see each other tomorrow. I am a little worried I may freak out but I kinda did that to myself through a fear of doctors. I gotta suck it up and go in like a man. Also to everyone wondering why I used ATS to gain some insight on this matter is because I don’t use Facebook or anything else. I don’t even answer my cell unless it’s work. I had my little sister set up my ringer for one of my SIM cards versus the other. My personal calls must ring more than two times before I answer.

Honestly I have no idea. I think it was one of of my cats. If a spider was the culprit then damn that sucker is huge. Snakes are not common where I am at.

I recommend... Amputation. No anesthetic. Bite down on a slither of wood, and internalize that scream. Be a man. Cut that festering gangrenous wounded limb right off, before it affects your brain.
Much harder to amputate a brain, trust me, I've tried.

He can go to an outpatient clinic, he does not need to go to the ER for that. There is a big difference in cost and copayment. ERs are for emergencies.
