 @de24ed50 ouch...

... I spend a lot of time around plants, therefore bugs.

I haven't gotten one that big in a long while. Mostly smaller annoying bites, but some do persist.

I think SPIDERS are the most likely suspects. 
 @d46cf433 I try to feed the wolf spiders down in the floodgates and this how they repay me 
 @d46cf433 @de24ed50 spiders are the least likely suspect if you know anything about them 
 @730c288f @de24ed50 

maybe true...

... but I know for a fact I've been bitten by some.

Any more, I just try to rub the area and grit my teeth for a while. 

Build some immunity to whatever small foe injected me.  The insect cabal. 
 @d46cf433 @de24ed50 Spider bites are exceedingly rare and most often misdiagnosed. They eat the things that bite us
