I got bit by a black fly two weeks ago. Two days after the bite my arm swelled up and I had a red spot about the size of a half dollar. I put on it a drawing salve called Ichthammol with a bandaid. I did this for three days and the swelling went down. Here it is two weeks later and I still have a sore with a scab on it. When I scratch off the scab there's no bleeding but a red pimple. If I squeeze it it starts to bleed but not profusely. I wonder how long it will take this thing to heal? I read that the bug injects a fluid that inhibits coagulation and doesn't puncture the skin but cuts it with a chisel shaped incisor. [mouth parts]
