@drjoe_md: Red streaks running up the skin from a cut or bug bite? That’s not a rash—it could be lymphangitis, a fast-moving infection that spreads through your lymphatic system and can lead to sepsis. If you ever see this, especially with fever or pain, go to the ER immediately. Early treatment can save a life. #Doctor #healtheducation #Sepsis #parenttips
Sepsis is terrifying. Dentist are the quickest to tell you if you don’t get your teeth fixed you’ll 💀 but then will tell you to your face without insurance they can’t help you

I had that red streak after I got bit by a brown recluse. Went to the ER & they said that I couldn’t prove what bit me & sent me home. I was in college at the time. So, I texted my doctor back home & sent him photos. He got me on antibiotics asap!

And if the red is just starting and you are unsure use a pen mark it. If it goes past your pen mark it’s for sure urgent.

I had this, from a small cut on my knee. Was told it was “blood poisoning” and I had cellulitis. Got a shot directly into the wound and a serious cleaning with what felt like steel wool 🤣
