A type of bite, a virus...or food poisoning? Warning: Long Post. Don't read if you don't hold time.
If someone says, "Do you expect me to read all of that?"...I'll without a doubt report you. Don't come on General-Health-Care.com if you "don't have time." This is a serious question, but not serious satisfactory for a doctor visit as of yet. I don't involve little kids playing games, and your post will be removed immediately.

It's on the right side of my right thigh, halfway between my knees and my hip. I tried and tried to get my camera to use proper color recognition...but I couldn't catch too good of a picture. My leg is actually pretty white/light...more so than the picture depicts. The bite (or so I discern that it is) is in the middle...the red place. Surrounding it is a brown type of bruise. It can be seen moreso on the right side within the picture...due to the lighting. It goes all the style around in a brown ring circle, currently about quarter-sized. I've read in the region of all types of insects causing a 'bullseye' dot. Black widows, chiggers, brown recluse bites, deer ticks and other ticks, etc.
Saturday, I went over beside a family member to a friend''s house that he know. They bought some land and are restoring the two houses on the land. The houses are contained by pitiful, rotten shape. He works in construction and he's rebuilding them. So, my family beneficiary and I went over to help out. We help haul junk to the big steel dumpster that he have in his yard. Literally, pieces of the house that he sawed rotten to replace. Lots of rusty nails sticking out of boards, but we had tough work gloves on and did carry stuck by any that I am aware of.
Anyway, when I got home...I noticed this bite on my leg. Now, this house member and I had tucked our pant legs inside of our socks before working, to prevent spiders, ticks, etc. from crawling up the inside of our pant legs. Probably should have tape them, but didn't. Anyway...
I seem to have gotten this bite on Saturday when we did that work. We be also tearing out old rafter boards that be going to be replaced. My family member that I be helping...said to another person there that he have killed a baby black widow inside of the house practical the roof where we were working. I toted profoundly of those out to the dumpster to throw them in. We did a lot of work...spent close to 6 hours or more there, helping out.
This bite was smaller at first. It be red and had a small very wispy bruise around it. It felt like nearby was a lump of some type underneath the red bit mark, and I squeezed it, thinking it be a bump. Nothing really came out that I saw. It hurt then and it hurts immediately, when I touch it. Not overbearingly painful, but it does indeed hurt quite a bit to put pressure on it. The 'lump' is gone. Now, since Saturday...the bruise seem to have gotten larger and more defined...also turning a darker brown.
The red bite fault is in the center, then in the order of a 10th of an inch of 'white' skin between the round brown bruise and the red bite mark, then the bruise subdivision. The picture isn't that great. The bruise goes all the means of access around, which isn't really focused in the picture to see. It looks as 'round' as it could be for skin.
The guy who we were helping...his wife and 4 kids have been sick with a stomach flu or virus for a while (throwing up, etc.) That be Saturday...I felt fine Saturday night, Sunday morning and adjectives throughout Sunday night. Then this morning (Monday) at around 7a.m.I got up to stir to the bathroom and felt incredibly nauseous - to the point of almost throwing up. Around 9:30am., I started throwing up. That continued until more or less 6p.m. on the same day. I have diarrhea, which was just similar to water with specks surrounded by it. I'd go to the bathroom...and immediately after have diarrhea, I'd get so sick that I'd have to sit on the toilet and lean over to throw up contained by the tub. Kind of a 2-for-1 thing, which the diarrhea seeming to 'cause' the throwing up immediately after have it.
Sunday afternoon around 3 or 4pm, I ate at a McDonald's...a Big Mac, Fries, an M&M McFlurry and high-C orange drink. I felt fine throughout Sunday afternoon...it didn't start until Monday at 7am. About 10 or 11pm Sunday darkness, I ate about 3 or 4 granola bars around an hour or more before going to bed. I've eaten like peas in a pod brand for years, and they were not expired. Most of my vomit seemed to contain pieces of granola lone, from what I could tell.
Diarrhea, vomiting, headache, weakness adjectives over, fever (severely cold, as well), no energy...and have trouble keeping things down. Including at one point Pepto Bismol. I've gotten better...but in total have thrown up 4 times and have diarrhea 5 times today...4 times being simultaneously with vomiting shortly after (and 'caused by') the diarrhea. The diarrhea seem to be continuing for a while, and it's now 11:21pm.
I have an interview at 1pm tomorrow. Could this own been caused by this bite on my leg? Please do hang on to in mind that the bruised/roundish brown area is BROWN...not the RED impetuous that I've seen in pictures from deer tick bites w/Lyme Disease.
Food poisoning, virus or some brand of bites? I'd prefer some kind of skin doctor or whoever deals next to this. YES, I DO know that I should consult with a doctor if it gets worse. I'm keeping an eye on it. So far, I only have typical signs of a 'virus' which they would likely blame on the symptoms and articulate the bite was nothing detrimental.
Answer: It sounds like two separate things to me. One, a bite of some kind. If you have any kind of poisoning from the bite, it would have moved out your system by now.
Secondly, you sound approaching you have a pretty bad virus. The virus may stay surrounded by your system for a little while. Eat only low-fat, fit foods in very small amounts and sip hose or orange juice. Also obtain as much rest as you can. I know it can be hard to do but you should feel better after a time or two..
Please do not waste anytime. Go to the doctor. If you are no longer nauseous etc. after you probably just had a virus. You may of late need to eat delicately for a day or two to let everything alleviate up.
As for the bite thing, I would look at the pants you wore and see if near is a puncture mark in that nouns. Maybe the corner of something you moved gave you a nick and a bruise. In that grip you are probably fine.
an added note;
It could be that working so hard you get a bit dehydrated. Dehydration and getting too hot can cause nausea, etc.
