On April 2, 2024 about seven in the evening, I was placing my jacket hung up on a rack by the front door as you walk in. My husband and I started out our driveway headed for a walk when all of a sudden just about 3ft away I felt a bite on my upper left of the inside of my arm. Ouch I thought and I even spoke of it to my husband. We stopped to take my jacket off to do our best to see perhaps what it was? Unfortunately we could not see anything with our eyes. The sun was going down and dusk was setting in. Maybe that’s why we couldn’t tell. We also shook my jacket I had on. Nothing fell to the ground far as we could see. It didn’t seem to bother me much afterwards, so we decided to finish our walk. When we arrived back home, I took a bath, scratched my arm from itching in that area of the bite. That’s when I noticed a small welp. Went onto bed and didn’t think anything of it.

The next day, Day 2, April 3rd. That morning there was a red, irritated rash developing around the bite on my arm and spreading down towards my elbow. I called that morning and made a doctor’s appointment to come in. The doctors’s office got me in and I had it looked at and examined. Since being unsure at that time what could have bit me, the window of opportunity to have had it treated for a bite like from a spider, the length of time had expired. Instead they gave me Baxtrom antibiotics and a steroid shot and was sent home.
