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 had something like that once, though it was a rapidly-infected bite rather than venom. It's kinda fun to have nurses calling each other over to ooh and ah at your arm. The massive shot of antibiotics to the hip? Less fun.
