I think it may have been a spider bite. Dr said it was not a brown recluse bite & gave me a strong antibiotic and I am able to walk today and its improved greatly. What I couldn't get over was the fact that the bite area did not manifest for 24 hours & then I was immobilized in a few hours. Anyway I am on the mend. I know what fire ants look like and I did not see any but by golly the photo that graciegirl attached looked like the bite I had.
