A member asked:
Is there a blood test that can tell if you have been bitten or stung by a spider? i have had a swollen ankle and major heel pain for a week now.

A Doctor can Help: There is no blood test for checking spider bites. But a good physician can take a look at the site of the bug bite and be able to guide you further and get you over the problem.
