Spider bite???


Swollen ear



Normal Ear

As I was checking my email this morning I notice my ear lobe has a burning sensation. I look in the mirror and my right ear is red and swollen! I'm thinking it's a spider bite but I don't see any little "fang" marks that are usually visible with spider bites.

I googles how to remedy a spider bite and it says:
*wash with warm soap and water
*ice for 20 minutes
*take tylenol
*put on a antibiotic ointment

Not really what I wanted to deal with on my day off. Keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't get worse or I'll be having to have it checked out.

  1. Holy eff--that's TOTALLY a spider bit. Dude, what if that spider climbed into your ear? Arrgh.

    I hope your ear shrinks back down and you enjoy your day off...

  2. I didn't think about it crawling in my ear! I was worried I swallowed it! LOL!
