It sounds like a spider bite if it is bruising in the area. Certain spiders can cause breakdown of blood vessels (bruising) you should see a doctor asap and make sure to note any symptoms. If the bruising spreads I would even go to the er even. If you are feeling flu like watch for this as well. Many people ignore spider bites, however they can cause serious harm from some and in certain people.


It could be many things as well, some people react differently to bites of any nature in immune response. However if this never happened before and certainly in case of bruising, get medical attention asap. Please let us know how you are doing.


Wish you well-kris I live in south florida as well. Many things here to bite you I found :roll:

I think you should go to the hospital as soon as possible,just to be on the safe side.To me it sounds like a spider bite but I could be wrong.The same thing happened to a friend,she felt a bite,didnt seen anything,there was bruising around it.The next day she was feeling funny,almost faint. And she went to emergency and they said it was a good thing she went when she did cause it was causing problems with air going in the blood vessels .So they caught it in time..Good luck...
