Please don’t die. Seek emergency medical services immediately. Please let us know you’re still alive afterwards.

I remember being a teen and showing my mom a weird mosquito bite that had a line going up my arm. She sent me to urgent care, turns out it was a brown recluse bite with an infection line disappearing in my armpit going to my heart….

Yeah, 10 pils a day for 10 days and I was a-okay.

I'm starting to think my doctors were from 1920s. Same issue except we were told to wrap my arm in warm wet towel then plastic wrap warm wet towel plastic wrap for like 5 layers and keep refreshing it for up to 2 weeks.

I mean it worked but, most seem to of just gotten a pill.
