I have contacted the local government organisation in charge of parks in my area, I was a little concerned as this is some where I often go Saturday mornings with the kids. I am glad that it got me instead. As it is a high traffic area they are going to investigate and maybe 'Treat the nest'

I hope that is code for fire bomb the little f@&kers.

This is the guy that bit me on the weekend. Myrmecia pilosula, aka 'Jack Jumping Ant', 'A-hole that bit me'

Mine was closer to 2cm, but there was not much left when I was finished with him.

If you want to find out more here is his wiki page. A-Hole

Why could I have not been bitten by this guy, at least he has a cool name and paint job

Last night because my leg is out of action i just did bench. My sets were

5x105
5x110

Here are some photos for those interested.



This is Day 2. I started to get a little worried. I drew the lines to see if the infection was getting larger. The two circles are for the primary weeping area, the second is the spear of the infection.



Day 3. Starting to dry up. I bathed it in salt to help clean and dry out the wound



Day 4. This is how the Doc got to see it. Scabed up nice but you can still see the size of the infection



Day 5. After starting antibiotics and taking the Doc advice to stay off my feet as much as possible. Apparently walking will help spread the infection.



Day 6. Really starting to heel. unfortunilty the photos dont really show how red or raised the wound was.
