Serious moment ~ have you any deer in that park you wander through? If so it is possible you have picked up a tick. It's not just dogs that get bitten.

Ticks can also be picked up where sheep and hedgehogs are to be found.
From your description and assuming you are not normally allergic to everyday bites and stings it is a possibility to be investigated before it gets worse.

I'm with you on that one ... noooo:

They reckon I had a bite off a spider a short while back, I had lots of swelling but no puss/oozing. They put me on antibiotics for a week to be sure like. Might be worth ringing NHS direct, they'll tell you you've prolly got beri-beri or smallpox, but ring them while you still can (that's a reference to NHS direct, not on your demise)

Me and the dog picked up a tick each last year in long grass down on Exmoor; I had shorts on...didn't notice this tick on me leg til the next day. Went to the doc and had some blood tests but they came back clear. You can pick up Lymes disease from ticks... scared2:
