At the start of the weekend in Southwold, I was bitten by some small insect bug thing on my right middle finger.

My whole finger and right hand is massively inflamed, red and extremely hot to the touch. I was recommended by the kind lady in Boots Pharmacy that going to my GP immediately was the best thing to do. So it can't be as unimportant as I thought. I shall pop along to University Health Service tomorrow if it's not improved at all.

But, I wanted to find out just how hot my finger is. As a control, my left finger skin surface temperature measures in at 28.6 celcius. The damaged right finger is currently flaming at 32.8 celcius.

And it's so damned itchy.
