Does anyone know anything about identifying bites?
This is strange. Last night i had a dream i was bitten on the ankle by a snake and it woke me up and i was itching it like mad. I just turned over and went back to sleep, i had watched "Kill Bill 2" earlier and put it down to that 
This am i got up (very gingerly due to footie training last night) and jumped in the shower. The second the water touched my ankle it started to sting like mad. On closer investigation i have 2 puncher wounds very close together on my ankle, they are not swollen at all but the area around them is a purply colour.
I'm not panicking or anything, i'm just more intrieged (or would be if i could work out how to spell it) as to what could have bitten me hard enough to wake me up (especially after training!! 
)
Any ideas??

It usually looses its colour in a few days but the hard lump takes about 10 days to shrink to nothing. I have ocasional felt a bit ill after a bite but never ill enough to visit the DR.
Once the stinging goes which takes a day or 2 it itches like crazy whilst shrinking.
Damp weather seems to bring them out more

OMG just the thought of a spider or a bat or anything being in my bedroom let alone my bed around my ankle makes me feel sick.
Hevs hope you are ok and fine out what it is.

Re: Does anyone know anything about identifying bites?
Hi all,
Still alive and feel fine (apart from sore legs from footie) But the spider bite, as many Aussie clients were shown it to confirm, is now stranger. It has a kind of brownish discolouration running down from it, like blood but not, its dry and kind of scab like. Its not painful or itchy until water goes on it
Anyway, thanks for your concern, i'm off to work to live another day
