We have fire ants on our street! Our daughter got a mysterious bite =
that sounds like yours. Could fire ants be the culprit?

Subject: [NatureNS] Spider/centipede (?) bite
Dear All, Aug 30, 2015
On Aug 17 I brought in a load of wood and carried some armloads of =
small
to the truck in the crook of my left arm. When I got home and washed I =
found
a red raised area on my left forearm, distal of the elbow crease by =
about 1
cm; dull red, about as large as a quarter and raised about 3 mm in the
middle. The next day the joints of my left hand, digits and wrist, =
ached
noticably but only a few hours that one day. Over the following 13 =
days the
red area has gradually become fainter and lower; now still almost =
quarter
sized but barely present .
I was not aware of having been stung where the reddish area is but =
the
wood tier was also a red ant apartment and I had many ant bites; a =
mild
sting would have been dismissed as just another ant bite.
There frequently are spiders in these wood shelters and sometimes
centipedes. So I am wondering if any of our species might be able to =
do
this; cause these symptoms without a noticable (painful) sting.
There is no halo and I eliminated deer tick because it is not like a
tick
to bite and run.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
