Help me identify what bit me please

So I guess u can only post one picture at a time... but this is the best picture that shows the hole where I was struck

My entire leg is completely swollen now I'm going on a day now.

I live in Tennessee

The bite was very painful/instant and it hurt but especially hurt when I woke up the next day I couldn't even walk ..

I have took Benadryl and ice packs .. nothing is taking the swelling down... it still is very tender I can stand but it's very painful and my leg feels like it's locking

I have vomited this morning... and I have diahrea .. I was woozy feeling but that went away .. just the very hard piercing pain is left and the swelling is getting out of hand. My entire back of my thigh is blood red and tender

If ur serious about helping identify this bite I will have a follow up picture of what it looks like right now on another post assuming you can click my profile and see what I've posted

I agree. None of us are experts in insect bites - although I've had some pretty nasty ones that landed me in hospital. But I've no idea what bit me. My whole body swelled and I developed sepsis. You really should got to A&E with it.

No you can't expect someone on here to diagnose your condition! I would have thought with all the reactions you are experiencing it would be sensible to get medical advice. Quick!

As Shanegillispie has probably either gone to ER (A&E) or started to recover, there seems little point in allowing further responses on this thread. I shall, therefore, close this to replies.

Thank you all who pointed out the importance of seeking medical help.
