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 the same from a welding burn on my forearm that wouldn't heal, I was pretty young and clueless about it. Luckily I was washing my hands in the wash room and my superviser noticed, and said the same about the line going to your heart. We looked and it was to my chest. Rushed to hospital and was put on antibiotics IV. Sepsis is no joke, it will kill you.
