When I mentioned about what happened to my leg, my cousin (my age) told me her son had gone hunting, and came back with a small place on his arm. Just like mine, it sort of looked like a boil. His festered, and got golf ball size too. She finally forced him to go with her to the doctor. They pretty much did the same things for him, as I've done for myself, with 1 exception. They cleaned his out with alcohol. She said he had tears running down his face when they put the alcohol in it. Personally, Betadine is just as good as alcohol, and doesn't burn like alcohol.
