Play doctor for me

Just don't go into anaphylactic shock on us, ok Spud?

That shouldn't be a problem. I don't get severe allergic reaction to anything. Thanks to the railroad we have lot of invasive species around here some of which are spiders. So it's either that of some other biting critter. I hope it's that simple and not toxic shock syndrome. If I have to explain that then the joke was totally wasted.

And just where have you been buying your sanitary products from?

This will probably turn out to be just some mystery that disappears in a few days without explanation. The fact that it occurred in an area not normally covered by clothing makes me believe that it was transient and not systemic. The spider bite makes sense. I've been bitten by non-venomous spiders a number of times and it's usually just a temporary discomfort that goes away on its own. I too have a very robust immune system, so I rarely worry about minor skin irritations.

Be happy that you don't have fire ants in Idaho. Those little b*stards will swarm all over your leg before you know it and then as if an attack signal is sounded, they all bite at once. Ah yes, formic acid, a wonderful neurotoxin...
