DETROIT (WWJ) Michigan Congresswoman Debbie Dingell is on the mend after being bitten by a spider.
The Democrat says shes not sure what type of spider bit her foot and ankle recently joking that it must have been a Republican.
She didnt feel a thing, but several friends advised her to seek medical attention.
I was lucky, because I didnt even realize it, Dingell said. The guys looked at me and said, How did you burn yourself? And I said, I havent burned myself.'
Thats when Dingell looked down to see huge blisters.
I dont know where they came from, she said, but the boys I have coffee with said, You dont take that for granted. So I headed to the doctor
Theyve got me on steroids and antibiotics.

(15,782 posts)show up on my knee a couple years ago; red, blistering things, and the leg really hurt. Went to the doc, she said, "Nope, not spider bites. Shingles." Had no idea it could manifest like that. Before the meds could kick in there were a couple of days I considered cutting the leg off with a chain saw, that's how bad it hurt.
