I do think though that the intense burning right after being bitten (or stabbed) sounds like a reaction to venom. Are there any opiliones with venomous spines?

Alemarzu, how is your arm today?


Yeah, thats why I was kinda worry about it. I'm okey now, pain is decreasing gradually.

Got bitten on my knee actually, and this is how it looks now.

1. 8/03 at 21:45, was taken 2 mins after the bite. Wound started to get bigger. Pain was scary, it begins a few seconds after, spread from the knee to my ancle. Some burning sensation too.

2. 9/03 at 17:00, It seems that Corticosteroids did their job, no more burning sensation and less pain. Wound got bigger.

3. 10/03 at 20:30, Less pain than yesterday and I dont know if its healing to be honest, not yet. Wound got bigger.

This is it.

EDIT: The middle picture is the third, from today actually.
