I have been back to the two work sites I worked at the day the lumps appeared. Dusty & cobwebs, but did not see any spiders. Dismantled mattresses & box springs to find only dust bunnies. Couch cushions' sole inhabitants were coins & food crumbs. I had been spending inordinate hours diagnosing a "gremlin" in my jet ski over the previous 8 weeks; it is sitting on a trailer I often lean my shins against the frame just above the affected sites. I have knocked many webs off it over the last rainy weeks in Phoenix. That is all I know so far, and admittedly, it could still not even be BW bites. Other than that, my stamina is back, minor crmps are gone and I trimmed off 10lbs(4.5kg) of excess weight, which is nice.
Coincidentally, I had a blood infection 17 years ago to the day recent symptoms started, Aug 11, 1999. It was misdiagnosed(sans blood tests) as mono-nucleosis and I suffered similar intensity of pain and kidney/liver damage for weeks before identifying the genuine problem. I was young & most lingering issues have abated but system is still compromised and a hit by a strong enough hemotoxin(recluse or a rattle snake) will likely be permanently debilitating, if not terminal. So, no, not courageous, just at peace w/ mortality & very grateful for every new day.
Edit: A correction to original post, as well, the site on my left leg did also open up, didn't see it under all the leg hair[0].
