i was out goose hunting this morning and it has rained the last few days so mosquitoes were pretty bad, i don't know if that has much to do with this, but today i got bit by a mosquito on the foot and now that foot is swollen, also my eyes are dilated so bright lights hurt and also my eyes are inflamed and swelling and i have a headache, any ideas?

It could be an allergic reaction or something as serious as West Nile
Go to the ER or Talk to your doctor.
I keep saying this to most health related questions but I will say it again...
Yahoo Answers is a great place for advice on day to day general questions but when it comes to your or your childs health it is always best to consult your doctor! Whgy risk it to well intentioned people who are trying to help but who might give you bad advice?

Sounds like an allergy to the mosquito bite. Try and antihistamine. How did a mosquito bite you on the foot anyway? Hunting boots anyone? Sound more like Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick fever.
West Nile takes longer to develop.

First off it's possible with having been duck hunting that you have an allergy to any number of possible things that you came into contact with. Second of all it's always a good idea to try some benadryl. Third if this continues....get to the doctor or ER!

Either go to the ER or the doctor office in the morning. It may not have been a mosquito that bit you.
