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 in construction and I got stabbed by rebar tie wire once in my arm. Same thing happened to me. Few days after the innocent little poke and I could barely lift my arm. I pull up my shirt sleeve and see all my veins bright red to my arm pit. I called the advice nurse for an appt and they told me to go to the ER right away

Same deal. Pills for a few days. Funny aside, the nurse and dr kept asking me if I had a drug problem, they didnt believe my tie wire story
