got bites on my arms

Juno

when i was at work, renovating abandoned store to become a deli. i was removing ceilings to install electricity. after i removed all of ceilings. i felt something itchy on my BOTH arms. i started to itch really hard which i wasn't supposed to. i wasn't well determined.

anyways, after that, i got serious bumps like i never saw before. i still don't believe it comes from mosquitos because those bumps are serious big. i'm not sure if it comes from neither outside spiders or house spiders. i saw several spiders settling inside the ceiling space. i didn't bother to kill them because my duty was to remove ceilings at all.

so do you think the outcome of those bumps really come from spiders? i got a total of five bumps. i hope it's not that venomous.

i'm giving it few days to see if it heals. if not then oh well, i'm facing judgment's day verdict. the worst part is that i don't have an health insurance. i cancelled mine before i came to college because new york state doesn't support my local insurance. so i used my school's health insurance instead. it doesn't cover during summer though.

🙁

edit: and no pictures because i don't own a digital camera AND i work for a construction business. not worth a try.

edit: pictures are here. it was captured by my webcam.

that's what I think. It's highly unlikly that the spiders could have jumped on your arms, bit you, and you didn't feel a think until after the bite.
