    Toe was grand until about an hour ago, walking round the flat barefoot all day. Then I noticed my big toe feeling a little tender, not to worry, assumed I just stood on something. Within ten minutes it was swelling and it hurts like feck to walk on! Sizeable swelling, feels really hot, and hard (yes I know how that sounds).

    What the hell could have done this? :eek:

    I was in Africa a few years back, had an itch on my side. One day I decided to take a look properly and it was actually an insect half buried into my skin, about 1cm long. Gross.
    Check your toe OP

    Jaysus, that actually didn't even occur to me. There's antihistamines in here somewhere... might even unearth a colony of mutant toe biting creatures if I dig hard enough.

    Budgese,

    I don't want to alarm you but I've a friend who works in St.James' Hospital who was telling me recently that the reports of botfly egg implantations has sky rocketed this summer in Ireland.

    It's mainly harmless. Fly lands on you, pierces skin, implants egg and leaves. Eggs quickly grow, hatch under the skin, break the skin and then fly away from the host. Not pleasant though.

    With all the rain and the humidity it's no surprise really.

    Yep am aware of the botflies. Seems unlikely to have happened in such a short space of time though, let's see what it feels like tomorrow.

    Barefoot. Stuck on a pair of runners to go outside for five mins. No socks. Barefoot again. Started around the time I put the runners on actually.
