Was at a campground, later that evening had severe chills. Didn't feel any thing bite me, but ended up having 18 bites. Went to ER on June 5th, pain was so bad. They said it was brown recluse bites and gave me the meds. Now they are starting to look alot better. Praise the Lord ( the bites are on both my legs, my arms, one on my left cheek, and 2 on my back. Putting photos on site. Now I think the spiders came from our garage instead of the campground. Found one in there this evening. On Sat. May 28th got a lounge chair out of the garage to lay out on and I didn't clean it off. I believe the spiders were in the weaves of the chair. May never know for sure, just glad that they are getting better and aren't worse than they are.The new pictures are of a new place on my right leg. It is still getting bigger, went back to er, gave me a shot of steroids and more antibiotics, hope it helps. Well,well, had to go back to the dr. 2 more times, antibiotics did not help, kept getting worse. Ended up at Dermatoligist, and I have not been bitten by a spider at all. They believe I have Sweet's Syndrome, gave steroid shots into the area ( which was very painful, but helping) and took a biopsy. I go back on July 5th. I asked the dr.why they said that they were brown recluse bites to begin with, he said it is an easy answer to say insect bites or brown recluse bites. But the only thing that helped me was the steroids. I am glad this site is here, but I do not have spider bites. Just for the record. Thanks
