So I woke up on Monday morning at about 2am with a start, sweating, shivering, aching muscles. Went and laid down in the lounge and didn’t really get much sleep but at least I didn’t interrupt the other half too much.

fast forward to the next day, my knuckles have these two weird, itchy red marks and my hand seems a bit swollen, nowt too bad just irritating and itchy as.

Wednesday though...hand like the f***ing tango man :lol: the two little red marks are now blistery rock hard things oozing occasionally and I’m still feeling rough as buzzards nuts.

went to the docs today, and I figured I’d maybe brushed up against something my skin didn’t like and possibly had flu at the same time...but no. Some f***ing 8 legged bastard took chunks out of me and at the same time decided I deserved a good poisoning :lol:

anyone else ever had owt like this? I feel like James Bond, getting spidered and that in bed.

Had almost identical symptoms on my calf after getting bit on my last day of holiday in Turkey years ago. Went to the doctors as swelling just continued, Doc said "Somethings bitten you and it didn't have very clean teeth" :lol: Had to have anti-biotics and see the nurse everyday for week to check on it.

When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
 
I got bit a couple of years ago here in Spain during the night, same thing two little red marks and a hand like a blown up marigold. Itchy as fook and seeping puss. Got some cream of FF the doc and a week later all ok

I got elastic bands keepin' my shoes on
Got those swollen-hand blues
I got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from

Aye years ago. Was round the pool on holiday and out towel under shoulder. Felt a sharp paint near arm pit. Dropped towel slider about size 50p ran across the tiles. Had two like pin prick marks.

Years ago I tried to catch a grasshopper, was convinced I'd got it but when I opened up my clasped hands sadly there was nowt there. Walked around the rest of the day with a strange buzzing, itching sensation in my armpit.

Got home that night, took off my t-shirt and inspected said armpit in the mirror to discover the grasshopper tangled up in me pit hair :lol: :lol:

The one last night, carried it outside and when I went to let it go it was either really fast or I just couldn’t see it scamper away in the dark.

Or... It crawled in my pocket or something!

How did he feel? Any other effects or just the itching and swelling? I feel like shite.

You 100% sure it wasn't poisonous ? has the missus bought bananas or owt ? anyone been abroad (and the bugger has hitched a ride back in the luggage?). I'd be tearing the house apart looking for the bugger, if it got a taste of your hand (and liked it) they might come back for another go ffs.
