First day of antibiotics. Sitting on Lazy Beach after one of our last swims, Jim felt a stinging sensation on his left upper inner thigh. He lifted his swim trunks to reveal a large welt. He immediately thought he got stung by a jellyfish. He looked up at me and said, well you know what you have to do? What? Pee on it! Needless to say I did not pee on Jim's leg but he did and said it relieved some of the sting. First day! We left the next day to spend 10 days on the north side of island in the small village of M'Pai Bay. Three days of trying hydrocortisone cream, an antifungal cream, antihistamines and after bite; nothing was working to relieve the itchiness. Also the welt took on a snake like appearance and started to creep across his thigh, growing in size and color. Third day! One night Jim wakes me from a deep sleep to share with me that he thinks he has a creeping erection. What did you say? I think the mark is creeping eruption. Oh okay, that makes sense..... wai...
