Not that anyone cares, but I thought I'd give an update. As of yesterday, I still had 2 bites that were not raised -- rather, they were sunken, much like a poc mark from chicken pox. I decided since I was home anyway, I'd call the doctor. Long story short, they're spider bites and apparently I'm lucky I didn't have more "tissue loss". Now I'm on antibiotics for 10 days, as well as having an antibiotic skin cream I have to use on the bites.
The doctor said someone was in not long ago and they had to surgically remove the tissue around the bite. The pharmacist said that a woman was in a couple weeks ago who had been bitten by a spider in bananas at the supermarket and had a lot of tissue loss on her hand.
Yucky stuff.
