Would never tell anyone how to address a medical issue but, if that swelling doesn't go down soon, you may be having a serious reaction. Might want to visit an Emergency Room before things go south.

Some oral (as opposed to topical) Benadryl might be indicated too. Bugs!!  |

I’m gonna go with bee sting. Google photos of bee stings on humans.
A snake would leave 2 puncture holes and most spiders do also if I remember correctly.

can you walk on it? if not, go see Dr. allergic reaction might need prescription meds to make it go down within say 24 hours if not better.

I'm very glad you sought medical assistance. We may be great bikers but, as a whole, we're probably not qualified to give much medical advice. Although, I have helped several cows give birth, let me know if you run into that problem.  Rams |

4.45 in the morning. Popped another Benadryl. There's a reduction in both swelling and redness.

Paul,
Dang, man! You do lead an interesting life, for sure... Remember, my friend, while life in the fast lane does seem more exhilarating, you also get to the 'toll booths' a lot faster... I ain't preaching here... I just hate to see ya hobbled and/or laid-up... We need you and your voice to add some spice and 'flavor' to the happenings around here. Besides, we like ya and don't want to see ya hurting... Good luck!

My money's on this ^^ While on Sunday's ride I had a bee get stuck between my head and helmet, the little guy stung me on the temple.. only had some stinging and redness with no swelling. I think you'd have to be allergic to bee stings for it to swell up like that. It takes some powerful venom for the swelling reaction you had.. glad you're getting it sorted out. |

If it’s a brown recluse the bite mark will open up to a painful open sore VERY QUICKLY. If this Go quickly to ER. That’s how I react to a wasp sting. I usually get stung on the calf and my whole foot gets like yours. Never needed the doctor. Benadryl helps a little. It sucks The last time one of those evil wasps got me was on the finger. I think you got stung by a wasp  |

What did the DR think it was? No professional guesses were made. With it's quick response to antibiotics, elevation and cool packs I'd hazard something winged. |

O K I sorta slept in today. BUT on da udder hand glad you iz Still suckin wind there Paul. Couple years back I wuz just cruisin ankles draped over the road pegs and a stinging something went up my left leg. Stopped and killed the little sumbitch Before he got too close to the boys. Stopped it-NOT Phatt Ghurl. BUT stinging something managed to nail me 3 or 4 times before I cancelled it's ticket. Leg lit up a bit but at that time still carried benadryl on the bike. Glad yer healin up. Always thankful for the first freeze here. RIDE SAFE. |
