I doubt it's a tick bite as we do daily (tick) checks and she had just had a shower last night too and it would've been caught. Any tick would (and should have) still been attached having not been fully engorged overnight. At least that has been my experience.
The hard part actually feels like it's a chipped piece of bone.very unusual I think. When she comes home from school today if it's any worse - we may go to the Dr. to rule some things out. _____ From: Mark [mailto:markyd...@googlemail.com] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2012 9:14 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Cc: <herbal_remed...@yahoogroups.com>; <silver-list@eskimo.com> Subject: Re: CS>Bruise with hard center?

It's about 2-3 inches in diameter with a light yellow center which feels like a small stone (tender to the touch). She does not remember banging herself yesterday - but she is a very active 9 year old and I can't rule it out. However, at the same time - I wonder if it could also be a spider bite of some sort. Either way - what's the best course of treatment at this time? I can make a poultice of EIS (silver water) and then I was thinking perhaps a comfrey poultice. Is there any way I can draw any of the toxin out if it is indeed a spider bite? Thanks for your help! Lisa (in NH)
