but what other fish bite?

Sorry for the dumb question. FH went to a different ER - they said they still have no idea what type of bite he got that caused such a bad reaction. Cleaned it again, gave him antibiotics and some special type of medicated bandaging. His foot was still swollen and oozing! It is crazy? They said its not a tick or spider bite. What the (*&^% ? He was swimming Sunday

jellyfish maybe? did he feel a sting? those are pretty bad on most anyone.

My FH's brother was bitten by some insect and he swelled up on his hand. Turns out he got a staff infection. the bug must have carried it to him.

Hmm...that's weird. I got stung by a jellyfish on our HM...he definitely would've noticed it...the one that got me wasn't any bigger (tentacles not included) than a dime and it hurt like you know what!!!

Re: but what other fish bite?

def not a jellyfish. FH is a total water rat and would recognize familiar bites. I'm SO worried now that his infection will be worse. Seriously, it started as a red pinpoint on his big toe, 2 days later his entire toe was size of golf ball AND purple. In addition his whole foot was swollen. They cut it open in the ER to drain it and its been draining. So now he has a prescription for antibiotics and when they removed bandaging they noticed a second little bump near the first one on his toe??

i'm SO upset - we're getting married in 2 days! : It really worries me that they don't know what it is??

Re: but what other fish bite?

The antibiotics should hopefully help him a lot so he'll be okay for Sunday. Good luck!!
