Call that a bite

Nerea returned from Borneo bearing a rucksack load of dirty washing, the zip off legs of some one else’s trousers and an exotic biting insect.  The reason for thinking this?  Shortly after sorting out her washing, I suffered an insect bite on my lower leg.  Now, I never react well to bites since having an anaphalylactic reaction to a bee sting some years ago but this was something else.  Red, hot, tree trunk leg, unpleasant, oozing wound and ….. I’ll stop there.  Suffice to say, it’s been diagnosed as cellulitis and I’m now on double strength antibiotics for 2 weeks.
