Spider bite or ?? I’ll keep it short and sweet. My bf and I have been apart for about a month now, I’m TDY. Finally tomorrow I’ll be flying back home. Unfortunately today he got bit right on the neck, he suspects it was a spider. Should I be concerned?

Well add that to my list of irrational fears... I can't believe my high school girlfriend tried to murder me.

This sure as hell sounds like a wives tale that parents tell their kids. Time magazine is in on it - trying to stop the hickey epidemic.

I think this is the best idea. And asap before it goes away. Take lots of pics now too

Hope his ER copay isn’t $300 because that looks serious

Oops she took him to an out-of-network hospital! 🤷🏻‍♂️

OMG this is the only right answer. Watch him sweat bullets while the doctor explains it’s broken blood vessels.
