Well what do you think it is?

Well I didn't take a very good picture, but this is Matt's leg. (I know, it's really hairy.) A few days ago he said he got bit by something and showed me his leg. It looked like a couple mosquito bites. Then last night at the laundromat, for some reason he brought it up again. And I made him show me his wounds. And this is what they look like.



They are bright red and blistery and scabby. And about 3/4 inches in diameter.

And yet.

Matt says they look way better than they used to.

I shrieked, "Why in the world didn't you tell me about these before? That is so horrible. You really need to do something about that! Oh my god! Let me see those again!"

His response - "I didn't show them to you because I knew you'd freak out."

Well wouldn't you freak out if your husband's leg looked like this? I don't want that thing anywhere near me! Maybe it's smallpox. Or measles. Or some other god-awful disease.

What do you think it is from?
