    I like the ones where OP will show a bit of leg skin with a small welt and ask What bit me?

    Um definitely something small and bitey 🤷‍♀️

    Then you get the replies such as: Go and see a GP to Get to the Emergency Room immediately because my best friends dentist’s next door neighbour had that same bite and their leg fell off. This is no joke.

      And it could be that nothing bit then! They could have just grazed their leg slightly and it raised a welt 😂

      Why ask Reddit? They’re not psychic time travelling detectives looking to solve the mystery of your minor injury 😂

        I used to have that thing where minor scratches would make my skin in that area go puffy. Actually you’ve just made me realize I haven’t gotten that in yonks

        Any scratch, even from my fingernails, used to do it. Then it just stopped

        Edit: apparently it’s called Dermatographia, and in some people just vanishes eventually. Odd, because I’m not allergic to anything

      chances are you have been bitten by a redback and dismissed it. Generally it’s just swelling and feeling seedy af
