lab test for insect bite
Can anyone advise or recommend a lab you can go to have some testing done for
an insect bite ?
Most labs only do this test with a doctor written request, so having trouble finding one. They are advising it would be an allergy test to determine the reaction to the insect bite. They are not saying they can determine what insect it is.

It was an insect bite, because it happened during the night when sleeping.
Thanks for the healthlab info.....but it looks like they only do insect bees, hornets, wasps, those kinds.
What is a good allergy medication besides Benadryl ?

What kind of bite do you think it is? Spider?
I think all over the counter antihistamines are gonna be the same, benadryl, dramamine, dimetapp, etc.
And then there is Allegra, Zyrtec, Clarinex
Hopefully someone who knows something more than I do can chime in.
Edit to say I hope they PM you, since not only does it go in the Sandbox, but but I think giving any real advice is against the rules.

Claritin for daytime. if the inflammation gets worse (burning, swelling, redness), go see a doctor.

If it's got 2 small punctures, it's a spider.
Black widow or brown recluse bites are serious.

I once had a small ' bite'
Did not get better in fact it got worse
Saw the GP and he sent me to the hospital because it could be MRSA
Admitted w/o problem
had minor surgery to remove the cyst
I was told, at one time MRSA was rare, only saw that in hospitals , now it is all over

OP....you might want to be glad it wasn't a snake bite on your ass.
You might have a problem finding someone to suck the poison out.
