Specializes in Allergy

How long ago?: how many hours ago she was stung. Any serious reactions take place within 25-30 minutes. Looks like sting was a few days ago. The current rash should not be anything to worry about

Do bat bites look like bug bites? Felt a sting on ankle when out running 3 weeks ago & developed itchy bump that looked like bug bite. Worried it could've been a rabid bat b/c now having leg paresthesias. Vaxxed against rabies 2007 and boosted 2015?
