my sister got a bite on her thumb while gardening and shesays it looks like a black dot with white all around it. she didnt get a look at the bug that bit her but wants to know what it is any ideas?
Answer:
It could have been one of many insect or bug bites. The source below might provide some information to help you diagnose the type of bite.healthy-skincare.com/insect-bi...
sounds like a spider bite. get it checked out. you dont want infection.
it could be anything..I go for a spider bite
nope but id gogle it
mite b poisonous
more than likely some kind of spider. almost anything garden related is spider/snake related.
a deadly bite from a black widow spider. go to the hospital! RAPIDO!
spider bites tend to be white with puss with a black dot in the middle
Sounds like the deadly Bingbalow
it is most likely a spider bite. watch it.. if it starts to turn red, that means the toxin is spreading... taking benedryl should help reduce the swelling... but it is a good idea to have a doc take a look at it. if it is a venemous spider bite, she can get very very sick.
most likely a spider bite. get it looked at, it could be serious.
look here:http://www.badspiderbites.com/
I agree with the other answers. A bite or a sting. The black center is most likely a stinger left in her skin which will continue to leak venom. It could be a bee or spider of some sort. Put Cortaid on it and watch for continued signs of swelling. If there are any other symptoms like difficulty breathing or rapid heart rate, call 911.
i dont know but what i do know is that you're sis needs 2 go to a doctor ASAP!! iwish u and ur sis lots of luck!! :)
im a doctor myself id have to say it could be a insect or possibly a black widow if so get it checked out
This sounds like this is clearly the bite of the elusive devilian spindle spider. It lays in wait in cool damp places and attacks what ever comes close enough to be attacked or whoever is unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The symptoms are a black dot with a characteristic white patch surrounding it. Their is usually desensitization and anastasia's affecting the nervous system. The victim demonstrates diploplia and bradycadia initially then anaphalatic shock ensues. Typically the anus swells uncontrollable until sitting becomes impossible and the victims teeth begin to taste of sulfur until they drop out neatly one by one. Typically the bite is not fatal but getting a date later in life becomes nearly impossible. It sounds like that definitely or it could just be nothing...
possible a spider. keep it clean w/ rubbing alchol.
hiya whiskey i have too agree with the others i think it maybe a spider bite if it is a poison spider yes get her too emergency as quickliy as u can and have the doc take a very close look at it he may have some sort of toxin case that can take the bite away or he might have too treat it very carefully so do get her too a local hospital very quickly ok and thanks

Can someone tell me the signs that I am getting pink eye? Besides waking up with it?
My husband has pink eye and has had it since sunday. We are not in the same bed or room for much time since he got it, and I want to make sure that I dont have it. Anyone know the initial signs of pink eye besides waking up with crust on your eye? Also how long from the time that you get pink eye will symtoms show up?-Thanks
Answer:
a few days befor,it will be red .befor it turns red it feels bruise an it itches.
waking up and your eye is completely swollen shut with mucus.
Your eye gets swollen, itchy, dry, and red. Sometimes it is even a bit painful. Fortunately, pink eye doesn't last that long. (A week at most, I have only had it for three days). Make sure he applies a warm towel over his eyes with light pressure. Also, taking Benedryl helps clear it up in a few days. Towels should be washed and sheets because it is contagious. Good luck.

Can someone tell me if someone having pain in left side of body?
Answer:
I could if you finish the question.
I got it on the right - what's that about. LOL
Can you be more specific? Which area, organ, part or limbs ? Left side is from your head to toe. How does it pain, dull, or spasmodic? From any external injury, sprain, muscular, ...?
Can someone tell me about my bruise?
so on my wrist i have a bruise just notice it about 1hour ago um i had blood taken from my wrist on wed so could that be why its bruise ? im panicking abit am i dying
Answer:
It's probably from the blood being drawn. You're not dying (from that). Put some ice on it. . . . you'll be fine.
lol.. no your not dying... the bruising is normal.. so give it time to heal and quite worring...
That's probably what it's from. Many people have bruises after getting their blood taken.I doubt you're dying.Keep ice on it, and call your doctor just to double check, if you're still really worried.
I can tell you it is from the blood taken, and that you will be ok,
but you see, I am a Vet.

Can someone please explain this to me - Undocumented Aliens qualify for medical services in Texas?
"The Texas Department of Health and Human Services (HHSC) administers several programs which provide medical care for."Read #4 (under 'Introduction' on their website -- link below) and tell me if I'm understanding this right. Are illegal immigrants really receiving this? Or am I reading it wrong?
http://www.hhsc.state.tx.us/programs/tex...
Answer:
Unfortuantely thats exactally the way it is. The whole thing just makes me sick. I feel that not only should illegals be denied any and all assistance programs, but they should all be deported and permenantly disqualified from applying for American citizenship.
A good place to start is hospitals. Any illegal who presents themselves for treatment should be detained and deported by the Immigration Officers who would be stationed at every hospital. That includes pregnant illegals and their newborn children, trust me, no mother will leave her new baby behind .
However I still believe that anyone who wants to be here and goes through the legal process should be welcomed. But one strike and their are out forever!
They must do it right the first time or get used to Mexico.
probably. according to the school paperwork my son gets each year, their children are also entitled to free school breakfasts and lunches.
plus parents like myself provide them with their school supplies because the school requires each student bring 5 boxes of crayons, 8 bottles of glue, 6 folders (etc.) on the first day of school. And to "not put our child's name on any of the supplies because we "share" in this school"
all bull crap.
ETA: Sassy, it's the language "immersion" program. They start off the year with the teachers and students speaking 100% spanish and end the year with something like 40/60 English/Spanish. They are doing it at the primary school in our area. Encouraging parents of non-spanish speaking children to participate in it as young as Kindergarden! (which goes against the TEKS that states language programs aren't to start till 3/4th grade)They also say the Pledge in Spanish (after saying it in English) didn't tell the parents about it, when we found out and told our son not to say it in Spanish, he got in trouble for staying silent! When we spoke out against it our son was "selected" to attend another school in the district.
We are seriously considering private instruction for him.
Your not reading it wrong at all.
I myself try to get on my-child but did not qualify.
That's why I have to work a full time job. If it wasn't the help from my family my check would go directly to day care.
We need to tell our congressmen that enough is enough.
You're reading it right and it really disgusts me.
You read it right dear.
You had heard about the young woman who brought her baby to the hospital because the baby had a fever of 103 degrees - the hospital refused the baby any care. The young mother had HMO, and she was required to take her baby across town for treatment. Half way there, her baby died. The fever spiked. I believe they said to 106 degrees.
Would this have happened had she and her baby been here illegally.
Please don't ignore your rights. If you do, you may soon find out that you'll have no rights at all.
I heard that TX schools are now requiring all students to half their days classes taught in English, the other half WILL be taught in Spanish.
Odd, because before, students (and their parents) had to learn English. Oh! Wait.. they came here legally, to become United States citizens. They didn't come here illegally.
What part of illegal do some people NOT understand.
Yes, you read it right and it's not just Texas. There is also WIC and other programs they are allowed to access. We are paying for this...taxpayers and legal immigrants.
Another Bush policy I imagine. His "leave no illegal invader behind. American Taxpayers have it covered so it's all good". You know that Bush policy.

Can someone Help!?
Hi this might sound really silly but I have a lump not massive one but it is under the skin on my knee, I know for certain that i have not bumped my knee to cause a lump %26 it does not hurt. This has only been noticed within about a week. Could it be anything serious I do not want to seem paranoid? Never heard of serious lumps in the knee but am worrying a little.
Answer:
go see your doctor if you're worried so much. No, I don't think it's a biggie, but set up an appointment with him/her anyway.
It could be a cyst, which are usually nothing to worry about.Have it checked out by your doctor to be on the safe side.Good luck
A.D.
sounds like a cyst go to the doctors and get it checked out
it could be a nobule, or cyst, see your doctor for pain reliefe and put your mind to rest
Any lumps should be investigated by the medical profession. Go see your GP and get your mind put at rest.

Can someone help me with my eye?
Last night my eye felt like it got something in it, so i put a cool cloth on it. And it went back to normal. But then my other eye felt like this now and it bothered me so bad and i rubbed it alot, and it got watery and sore. Then when i woke up it wasnt all the way open and it is really swollen. It looks horrible. what can i do about my eye to get it back to normal? How long will it take? If i put a cold cloth on it and take a nap will it be better? Plzzz help!!!
Answer:
Sounds like an allergic reaction...a doctor would be the one to determine this of course.Instead of the COLD compresses I would suggest using Hot or Warm compresses.
I had my first "Sty" a couple of weeks ago and after checking around the internet, followed suggestions to apply a HOT compress frequently during the day...in about a day or two it was gone.btw...these are your EYES...don't mess with taking any chances that something seriously could be wrong. If you feel whatever you have is beyond the normal allergic reaction, get yourself to an Emergency Clinic or doctor right away!
It's best to see a doctor who can give you a real diagnosis and treatment.
You have irritated it and possibly caused some kind of damage...can't say having not seen your eye. You need to put ice in the cloth and if the swelling doesn't go down in an hour or so you may have to see a doctor. Don't wait too long if the swelling doesn't go down after a couple of hours of using cold cold compresses. You might want to see one anyway...what you describe could be symptoms of something that will require treatment.
Urgent Care!
you need to stop what you are doing and go to your doctor.Somethings forien that gets into the eye is un-
detectable.Example: I had a piece of plastic(clear)in my eye
that i couldn't see in the mirror.I had to go to my doctor and let him figure it out.
It sounds like you have an allergy to something. My sister had this problem for years, one eye, or both would just swell up all of a sudden and sometimes so badly she could barely see out of them. It is very embarassing, but after a while of cold compresses, they would go away. Finally she went to a doctor and discovered that she has an allergy to something, and sure enough, she would only get them when she would drink milk or have ice cream... so she is allergic to milk. Perhaps you are also allergic to something. It could be food, pollen, or even your makeup. Seeing a doctor would definately be your best bet. If this is not an allergy, your doctor can diagnose this problem properly, and if it is an allergy, your doctor can help you try to figure out what it is, or if you would like, take a blood sample, test it, and tell you what you are allergic to. If this is the same issue my sister has had, it will go away on its own in no less than a day (the less you touch it or put things on it which can irritate your very delicate skin, the quicker it will go away), but for saftey reason, I would go to the doctor regardless! Good luck and take care!
You probably have pink eye. every pink eye is differant, so go to your doctor to get the right eye drops. Belive me, when i got pink eye, i put in some store brand pink-eye "cure" drops and it made them worse. Go to your doctor.1. DO NOT PICK AT IT
2 DO NOT TOUCH YOUR EYE THEN TOCH THE OTHER EYE
3 GO TO YOUR DOCTOR
4 PUT EYE DOPS IN AS PERSCRIBED, NO LESS NO MORE
5 FEEL BETTER : )
Since it's both eyes, it probably has nothing to do with something being in your eyes. It's a lot more likely that you have some sort of infection. You can try the compresses for the swelling and maybe a little saline eyewash if you still think that something's in it, but only do this till you can get to an eyedoctor. It's not very expensive to go to an eye doctor for this sort of thing usually, especially if you have insurance. If you don't want to take anyone on here for their word, call an eye doctor, give them your symptoms, ask them what to do. Most likely they will tell you to come right in. If they happen to schedule an appointment for later in the day, or the next day, consider switching doctors. And if you're still wanting to go to this particular one, make sure to ask what you should be doing in the meantime for your eyes. Take some benadryl too. It won't hurt you if it's not an allergic reaction, as long as you've taken it before and you know how your body reacts to it. If you know your body is ok with it, then take a dose and wait to see if the swelling seems to be affected by it. But still go to see an eye doctor. Some eye doctor's can even tell you if it's an allergy and prescribe something for it...
