I got bitten by an ant (and starting throwing up)(pics)10 points?!


Question: I got bitten by an ant (and starting throwing up)(pics)10 points.?
last night, i was walking outside and i got bitten by an ant(im sure it was it was dark so i couldnt see properly,but im sure it looked like an ant)
and it stung a bit, and i just let it go, and then i started to feel REALLY tired and slept from 5pm till 7.30 am, when i woke up my foot still stung, and once i got out of bed, i started throwing up heaps, over the next few hours, i could hardly move without throwing up, and i started feeling better around 1pm,i was wondering if im allergic to ant bites, and need 2 be prescribed something.?.?

& about 2 months ago, i got bitten by a ant at a party,and fell asleep, and everyone said i looked really out of it, the next day my foot swollen up heaps

Answers:
it's defiantly an allergic reaction.
are you on any kind of allergy medication.? if not, talk to your doctor about it, as it will help control the swelling and possibly prevent the sickness if you do get bit again. for now, take an ibprophen or two to keep down the swelling and help with the pain. drink some tea and eat some crackers to help with the vomiting. if i were you i would make an appointment to talk to your doctor as soon as possible because this is semi serious. allergic reactions tend to get worse every time they happen. just like when the first time you got bit you only felt 'out on it' and now you are physically sick. and if it IS an allergic reaction you could possibly go into anaphylaxis which is potentially deadly. anaphylaxis is when your throat starts to close up and you basically suffocate.

Probably not an ant-most likey a spider.
If you are ok now-fine. But next time go to a doctor asap.
It wouldn't hurt to take a benadryl.
Benadryl works pretty good for that.Health Question & Answer

by the look of the red spot on your foot looks like you were bitten by a brown recluse spider. if it starts looking like a target "red & white circles" that's what it is. one thing a brown recluse bite will eat your skin from the inside from the spider Venom the venom will eat a hole in your skin. if a target looking spot appears get to the hospital asap and get the treatment needed. This has happened to me & my mother my mother was bitten on the calf of her leg & I was bitten on the under "triceps muscle" part of my left arm while camping i have a scar she doesn't it affects people in different ways.Health Question & Answer
