A member asked:
I have a bite on my foot and it is swollen, it has been there for over a week. i live in england and not allergic to anything so nothing poisonous?

Infected?: Is it red, is it hot? The swelling should be gone by now. If there is redness to the skin, you might have an infection and need antibiotics.
