Melinda - Hugs to you, not sure if I`m much help but 2.5 weeks ago I was bitten by something nasty while putting Matthew into the car seat, whatever it was it bit me on my calf, within minutes my leg from the bite down to my toes went numb, the pain was dreadful and I felt off colour. Siily me didn`t go to the Dr nor did I apply ice to it, anyway the numbness went after sometime but the pain stayed for 4 days and the area was extremely swollen and very red.

I searched on the net as DH said so unsympathically oh it probably was an ant, the symptoms and reaction I got sounds like it may have been a Fiery Bullant, I looked for the victim at the time but couldn`t find it.

Now 2.5 weeks after the bite I still have a big red area where I reacted to this creature.

Like you I worried about bubs and if Mummy had such a bad reaction is bubs suffering but I was lucky I was at a stage where he was moving around so that reassured me all was okay with Bugalugs but I do wonder since I had such a bad reaction would Bugalugs be more prone to being allergic when he`s bitten by something.

I don`t think I`ve been of much help to you at all, if your at all worried about bubs maybe ask if you can have an u/s, I know it`s hard not to worry.
