|
|
The other week I knelt down on the floor and put my hands flat on the carpet. I immediately felt a sharp pain on the inside of my wrist and a large swelling and bruise began to appear. There looked like a spot where I had been bitten by an insect of some description. I didn't see anything and the dogs don't have fleas (I checked). The bruise took ages to disappear. Anyone any ideas what it could have been? |

I don't have any ideas but it could have been ant because I got a bite like that once and it was sore for months and it was swelling a wee bit.It might have been on your shoe or something. _________________ Stephanie (11) I love animals no matter what shape or size |

Carpet Gripper... a member of the 'ooyabas' family. Commonly encountered by DIY'ers worldwide.
Could have been a spider.. if we start seeing large webs strung across Whitelees, then we will have our answer! |
