One of the problems with having access to google is that you start to get paranoid. I have what is likely a mosquito bite turned super gross staph infection and understand how you're supposed to take care of it, but don't have the resources aka antibiotics to do so. Which is somewhat frightening, because there are images of people with gaping holes in their bodies following similar infections, and post after post about how you need to get infections checked out ASAP because you could become septic or develop gangrene, or because it could be MRSA. You know, the staph strain that likes to make sand castles out of antibiotics before stomping on them all and brushing them away. Meanwhile, my parents are laughing at me because I'm being so paranoid and saying not to worry, they'll treat it just like they used to in the 60s and 70s. Back before antibiotic resistance was ever a problem.

All I want to do is go to a doctor and get it checked out. Just for the peace of mind, if nothing else. I don't care if I get laughed at more. Call me paranoid, but I'd rather be that and intact than have missing tissues or bones.
