KLAXON! it's delightfully disgusting!

This began life as a spider bite, but within 24 hours had bloomed into an infected, terrific (yet hideously painful) boil. I have been to the doctor and am now taking horse-size antibiotic pills. The doctor said to expect that it will either a) erupt on its own or b) I will need to come in to have it drained and cleaned. In either case I will do my utmost to document the experience for you, my nasty lovelies.

Wait??? Noooooo!! Surely, to make it more comfortable, you'll need to deal with that, like NOW!!

Agree. BURST IT!

Please don't waste the NHS's time with that! please take photos while you diy

Oh my. That is a beauty.

Can we have more pics please.

A spider?! In the U.K.?

I got a spider bite a couple of years ago in the UK, I needed anti biotics and I've still got the scar. It was awful!

Yowzer.

Can't wait!

I'm not scared of spiders but I don't want them biting me.

Looking forward to seeing this pop though.

I forgot to mention I live in Texas, land of very big spiders and insects.

This morning it has not burst. If it's still acting this way after work I will DIY it and get dad to film for you (although she may vomit).

This fella didn't bite me, but visited me at my office. Texas is a strange land, where these run free. He was three inches across and four inches long.

DD. Not my dad. Although he'd probably be a willing participant.

How long until 'tonight' where you are op?

I'm excited

And that's Texas off my list for a potential place to live. That spider is terrifying!

You need to squeeze it now and video it to make up for the shock of me seeing that spider!

This is the reason I don't travel

at the pus and at the spider (I 'd love a tarantula)

I am never going to Texas, that's for sure.

That's a fluffy spider

Nope! Never going to Texas now! Eek!

Y'all know everything is bigger in Texas.

I have a lovely friend living in Texas.
I'm not visiting her. Ever.

Oh it's fine if she vomits as long as she holds the camera steady. Truth be told, she could probably post a picture of that and we'd all congratulate her.

Dame if you wanted to, you could show us your scar?

Holy hell. Just tried to poke/pop/squeeze the bugger and it hurt so badly. Sent me straight through the roof.

I'm off to hot flannel it and hope that brings it up some. If I press/squeeze around the edges, it fees like a marble under there. This is going to be lovely if I can manage it!

No worries though. If the doctor has to do it, I'm still filming

That is very impressive, how is it now DoubleNegative, bigger I hope

Did you get any filming done

Thespottedzebra, your post made me laugh, "it's fine if she vomits"

I can't wait to see more!
