well it was all pussy but now there is a whole in it.

What do you mean by a hole though? Is it dark? Can you poke your actual kneecap or something?

edit: Like Epoch stated though, the main thing is if you notice the tissue around the actual bite getting dark. That's not a good sign. Now if by hole you mean the skin is decaying or something...go to a doc asap.



Person 1: Does Valkyria Chronicles have trophies?

Person 1: Forget it. I'm not buying it.
Person 2: Wait! It's amazing! Unique, charming, drop dead gorgeous... Hello?

Well if its just a hole, then your body will heal it.  Put some anti-bacterial ointment on it and you'll probably be fine. 

The bite just killed some flesh, body got rid of it, now you have a hole that your body needs to heal.  Just keep it clean and covered with some Anti-bacterial cream.  If it starts to get red and puffy and painful, or the tissue starts to darken, go see a doctor for anti-biotics.

Edit: just how big a hole are we talking though ?



That wasnt funny at all. Though the "pussy" comment was... sorta

Go to a doctor.

First of all, as Signalstar already pointed out, your story wasn't funny at all. lol.

Second of all, Brown recluse bites will turn into a hole over a 24 hour period and it could grow larger and larger.  There was a guy I knew who had 6 feet of antibiotic string put into a hole he had.  And there's a good chance you'll end up with a sizable scar.

More Info:
My residence two places ago had a huge brown recluse infestation.  The infestation was so bad there and existed for so long that their small webs in the basement were networked over to a thickness of my arm in some places.  Corners of the basement looked as if you could fall into the web and wrap yourself up.  They stay dormant in the winter time and come out around March and won't go back into hibernation until September or October.  They come out at night and hide in undisturbed places.  People usually get bitten by clothes in their closet, spiders getting trapped in the bathtub, or rolling around in your sheets.  They also live in trees outside and brush. So cutting tree and bush limbs that might be touching the house might help.

Usually if you have one in your house then you probably have a lot more in the walls.  You should check your basement or attic to see if you see any more spiders because you could have an infestation and you should definitely catch one if you can for the doctors to verify what spider bit you.

They are nearly impossible to get rid of completely because they hide in cracks, but I put sticky traps along the walls, since they will feel against things most of the time when they move indoors, and under bedposts and would catch 7 spiders a day for a while.  They would also be in the window seals and under sinks.  We didn't see many other bugs at the place because the brown recluse spiders would kill them all, no other spiders either.  I think the movie Arachnophobia was based on brown recluse spiders, but I'm pretty sure they used house spiders which look very similar but don't move as slowly and keep their legs closer to the ground.

I simply ended up moving because I would sleep in sweatpants, long sleeved shirts, and socks and toss and turn, looking around, at night from paranoia.  One sticky trap that I had next to my bed caught a HUGE one heading straight for the bed.  They usually move pretty slow and creepy unless disturbed and have eratic webbing.  Their nests, located in dark isolated areas, are usually filled with baby exoskeletons because they will molt twice in their lifetimes.  Adults "can" survive months without eating.  The largest I saw with the legs stretched out was the size of my palm.

This is what you are looking for if a brown recluse...

All Brown (fiddle looking mark on torso)

or much lighter torso with dark grey abdomen.  (again fiddle mark on torso)

Hope some of this helped.




That brown recluse dosn't look that harmful but based on what you guys have said thats all f***ed up.



Pacman taught people to run around in dark rooms munching on pills while listening to repettive techno music and for that I somewhat idolise him.

sorry i had to og to bed the hole is deep enough that i canput a q tip in side.and the skin around it is kinda dark but not really black



and i kinda thought it was funny guys lol



The more fat you have in the area, the bigger the hole is likely to be too. So being on your knee might be good, but if it was in your house, probably just a matter of time till you get another bigger hole in your butt cheek. lol.




Here, click this link and look at the picture towards the top right and tell me it's still funny, unless this is a joke post or something.

Disclaimer: It's nasty.

I remember when I was a kid mowing lawns for extra money. A few houses down from mine there was a guy that always gave me a whopping $20 for mowing his patch of grass. The first time he walked out of his house there was a nasty bite on his leg that looked like the one in the picture, only a tad smaller. It took almost a YEAR for it to heal up, and even then it was quite the scar. So while rare, these bites do happen.

That's why I was asking you what your bite looked like.

Just saying...

 You should really go see a doctor... that isn't going to get better on its own.
