A member asked:

I got bit by spyder long time ago. my leg is big and has been test after test. dr said it was staff infection what is it?

Sure: Can't argue with the assessment of a physician who examined you. Staph aureus and streptococcus are common skin infection. Sometimes it takes time, may need further testing, or referral to id doctor or wound care physician.
