Whitetails and necrosis is something that worries the hell out of me. I don’t care that they’re not deadly - I don’t want no flesh-eating spidey bite to remind me some little fucker was able to invade me like that!
I know you’re not looking for medical advice so I’ll just say, hopefully you’ve managed to use antiseptic on the area and given it a good clean (or three). That and ibuprofen might help with the swelling.
I’ve been bitten to hell by whitetails: they take ages to heal but the whole necrosis thing is wildly overblown. It’s been found in most cases the “necrosis” was actually caused by something else - diabetes, staph, etc etc. If you have diabetes, mild concern (as always) but don’t get paranoid to hell over a whitetail bite.
Huh, the more you know! I worked with a guy who got necrosis from a white tail - but he was definitely a candidate for pre-diabetes so that could explain it. And look, it wasn’t that bad, maybe like a pinky nail-sized hole? But still, I can deal with a lot of things. Spiders, nope. Not a fan of something so small being able to damage me like that.
Perfectly reasonable for random things to give you The Ick, but don’t let it drive you unreasonably nuts - get it checked, then it’s sorted and all happy makings.
