The first symptoms are sneaky and boring. You might get a fever, headache, or just feel wiped out. You know, like every third Tuesday of the month. But here’s the ironic part: the wound itself often starts to tingle, burn, or feel numb—even if it healed weeks ago.
That’s your nerve endings screaming, “Hey! Something’s wrong!” If you have a weird sensation around an old bite, and you’re also running a fever, stop Googling and call a doctor. Please. I’m not a doctor, I’m just a paranoid writer.
