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

  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
