Brown recluse bite?????? I just walked in the door from going over to my neighbors home, i walked through our yard through a black pit (accidently) that we have in the middle of our yard from a tree that has just been dug out. I felt a sharp pain moments after leaving our yard (the end of the yard is only about 2 yards away from the pit) and stopped on the side of the road to look at the bite. It looked red and hurt but i shook it off, walked to my neighbors and back, around the pit and back into the house. i sat down, the bite hurting again and my mom got out the tweezers thinking it was a thorn or beesting and she tried to tweeze whatever there was out of it. Nothing happened so we decided to wait. There is now a large circle surrounding the bite and it is pussy, red, and a little swollen. I need to know.....
1.) whether or not it is a brown recluse bite
2.) If i am safe to go swimming in the next 2 or 3 days
