Jane Schlosberg -----Original Message----- From: David & Alison Webster Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2015 6:56 PM To: NatureNS@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: [NatureNS] Spider/centipede (?) bite Dear All, Aug 30, 2015 On Aug 17 I brought in a load of wood and carried some armloads of = small to the truck in the crook of my left arm. When I got home and washed I = found a red raised area on my left forearm, distal of the elbow crease by = about 1 cm; dull red, about as large as a quarter and raised about 3 mm in the middle. The next day the joints of my left hand, digits and wrist, = ached noticably but only a few hours that one day. Over the following 13 = days the red area has gradually become fainter and lower; now still almost = quarter sized but barely present . I was not aware of having been stung where the reddish area is but = the wood tier was also a red ant apartment and I had many ant bites; a = mild sting would have been dismissed as just another ant bite. There frequently are spiders in these wood shelters and sometimes centipedes. So I am wondering if any of our species might be able to = do this; cause these symptoms without a noticable (painful) sting. There is no halo and I eliminated deer tick because it is not like a tick to bite and run.
