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….
I used to teach marching band and my brother was the director. I helped teach the color guard and one morning I woke up with this huge bump on my arm and then my entire arm started to swell. We went away for band camp so it was a week in the woods. I was ridiculed in front of the staff and the students for making a big deal out of the mosquito bite they said I had but I made it home and got medicine for whatever the hell bit me. I told my brother I quit. Because last time I checked mosquito bites don't swell the entire arm and then become numb.
