Went to the docs immediately, and he put my on drugs. Luckily I caught it quickly - even though I still have a nice "scar" on my ankle. One of my clients got bit. Didn't think anything of it. He called the clinic at work, who told him to stop by. NO....he had other things to do. After 4 days he had to be carried in. 4 years later he finally has full use of his leg (he was bitten on the inner thigh). The pain has finally gone, and all his skin grafs are over. All this because he was more interested in doing something other than going to visit the doc. Now I wear boots when in the area where I got bit (near a wood pile against the house). All the wood is gone...everything burned the next week.
