I posted a comment in body business about getting a spider bite. I went to the doctor Tuesday morning and he prescribed anti-biodics. The bite kept getting bigger so yesterday I went to a different doctor and he asked me if I worked in a nursing home or anywhere around elderly people. I asked why and he explained that in this area (Pinellas County) and all of Florida, there is an epidemic of some kind of bacteria (I forget the name) that is easily transmitted and can infect any open wound you have. I explained that I worked as an exotic dancer, and he said theres a good chance I picked up the infection just from sitting on a chair that someone who had the bacteria on them sat on before me or just by lapdancing for a custy. Most antibiodics don't work on this and I had to get a special prescription to treat it.
I am constantly washing my hands at work and keep bandaids on the bite, but the doctor advised me to wear pants for awhile and anytime I get an open cut (even nicks from shaving) to wash it out after contact with any customer
I just wanted to pass this warning on to all of you.
