What bit me??

Ok folks ,
Here is a quiz. After a Sat. morning archery hunt 4 weeks ago I came home to weed my garden. It was hot so I was in my shorts and T shirt..no shoes or socks. I had my knees in the sandy Florida soil weeding around my turnips when my right leg started itching badly.

The next day..seroious tracks like ring worms began threading under my skin..A doctor told me diffently not insect bites but an allergic reaction from a plant. His pills and creams had no effect. In fact the area has gotten 3 times bigger a good 5 inch square patch of raised red blisters and long tracks under the skin.

Yes,,,,we prayed alot..and yesterday God answered my prayer through a dermatologist. After we said our morning prayers I couln't beleive it..The dermatologisthad an after school opening at 3:40

Here is a hint. My wife loves cats. She has been feeding about 6 stray cats lately. [

What bit me?

Cat scratch ? Can give cat scratch fever, I had it once and it put me in the hospital for a week because it was behind my ear...

HI Phil,
Thanks for replying..I'll reveal what bit me when I come back from hanging my stand tonight..Early quota firearm starts tomorrow and I got a quota.

another hint...my prescription had to be special ordered. It will be here tonight. I take 9 pills for 2 days and the pills have 99% success. ..the itching is real bad..There is also swelling in my leg. The tracks have spread as far as 5 inches from each blister. I really thank God for doctors.

It's funny..when my faith is low..I stayed home wondering why I wasn't healed and try to figure it out.BUTwhen I had more faith and joy..I listened to the inner voice that said..let's call a doctor...thank God for doctors.The place was very professional..I was allowedto leave my underwear on..

Amen to that..They brought in every doctor and intern in that field in to look.They said ..they don't really see this alot. Great specimen.

..of this type of problem.

No sir..these microscopic buggers actually have sharp teeth. The cases are kind of rare and the school nurse wanted ot take a look today before I got healed. She said OH WOW!! That's what _ _ _ K _ _ _ _ s look like.[8D]
