i live in central nj and clean houses for a living. i was cleaning a small dark corner with a vacuum, the next thing - i have an itch on my face just above my lip. at first i thought it was a pimple. it looks just like a mosquito bite. the area around the bump -(about the size of the bottom of a coffee mug - no bite marks) became numb and tingly and lasted a good 3 hours. i took an aleve, a benadryl, put bactine on it, as well as ice for about twenty minites. it stayed a little swollen but didn't seem to bother me till the next morning (today). now the area is still slightly swollen and just a little itchy-tingly. i don't feel quite right (and didn't at 1st)-slight nausea (very slight) w/headache (my imagination?). it is starting to form a tiny scab almost like i scratched it, but i didn't scratch. Any one else have this same experience? i looked up spider bites, the bad spiders are not in nj, but i did see a black widow here once. will it get worse? what do i do now?
thanks!
