Recent travel to South Africa, patient noticed this bite 10 days ago. Think there may have been a stinger of some sort in it. Had fever initially, now has body aches and one swollen tender submandibular nodes. Is indurated and red border expands outside pen border and contracts back again. Any ideas what bit/stung her?
