Hi all, 2 weeks ago appprox I did the monkey trail and then a days natural riding over Cannock chase. Second day was heavy rain which meant lots of mud and dirty puddles etc etc .....

Well it appears that I got bitten 5 times, I have no idea what by but the photos to follow show a tiny mark then gradually over time one if the bites went a bit mental!! Ended up in a and e with four boxes of pills then upon taking the dressing off I now have a hole in me!!! Back to a and e and now parched up!!!

However this maybe a complete coincidence but the same day a cat sat on me briefly and the doc says it could have been a flee bite but stated there's some wild insects out in the woods!!!

Enjoy and just for info if you get similar

    They are well known to transmit bad aids worms. Goodbye and good luck.

    Days off work for that WTF!?

    Exact same happened to me when I was about 12. We think it was a horsefly bite that didn't react well to me. I still have a scar on my arm from where it happened.

    But days of work! Wuss, I still had to go to school with the hole in my arm and just a plaster and a threat!

    I may be wrong but I think he already had the days off booked but they are now ruined due to the aids-ridden cavernous hole in his flesh

    The pain goes because the bad aids worms eat all your nerves. I believe the next stage is most certainly death.

    Probably.

    I am definitely a doctor and I agree with this.

    Exactly, he works shifts. Saying that, I can confirm he is a wuss and he does have aids :wink:

    Going to have to ask - at the back of the remaining hole - what does the hole do?

    Does it just stop, or is there an apperent tube leading deeper? If there is - how round is the tube?

    There is a genuine reason for aking this, btw - definately not trying to take the p**s or make light of it (I have medical experience of similar things).

    If it's like mine was, it's like a crater in your arm. Like someone had a mini ice cream scoop and took it out.

    It leaves a pretty awesome scar though. And everyone knows chicks dig scars.

    Er scars maybe, festering pits no.

    Unless they're from Rhyl.

    either the start of cellulitis or maybe parasitic egg laying. I hope you are seeing someone about this?

    Had a few myself - fookin painful. Can be from insect bites (ie ticks in bracken), can get them from wearing tight clothing. Sooo, general rule of thumb, don't fall in bracken or wear lycra...
