Hi, I recently got a bite on my toe and when I saw the insect that bit me (I glanced at it for a nano second before flicking it off) It looked like an ant but it was kind of orange brown...

I don't think it was a fire ant. I was once bitten by an ant and I got a small bubble like thing about the size of a pea on my foot but this bite seems different.

Anyway, I was walking in flip flops near a bush when I felt something pinch me. The bite got swollen in less than a minute and now (2 days later) it has a small white pimple like head and my toe is filled up with something. I tried to get some venom out of it but my toe is hard as a rock so I can't push anything out...

Is anyone familiar with this kind of bite?

I think I had the same kind of bite before on my finger and after a week my finger was a reddish purple and about twice it's size in swelling. I managed to get venom out of that one, but I figure maybe I was just lucky that it went away.

If you have any info you can share, that would be great :)
 
Sounds like a Brown Recluse spider.
Their bites are NASTY and you had better have a trained medical professional take a look at the bite.

Ditto on that sentiment. I have been bitten by such a spider. No fun whatsoever. Fortunately for me, it was on my leg and I managed to weather it without going to the doctor. Looking back, I probably should have done so. I had an elevated heart rate for 12+ hours and felt bad during that time. I just popped Tynolol for relief. I still have the scar from it on my leg. Something about it's bite that really screws up how it heals.

I hope you are gone already.

IF NOT, I am sure the people of AD are gonna kick your butt.

Seriousily, it can turn deadly please take it seriousily and go.
 
A few years ago I got bit by a spider between the eyes, my right buttock and left hip, and the swelling was about the size of an egg yolk in all 3 places and was hard and red, a day later thick green pus was coming out of them all and
my face was disfigured and the other two developed staph, although I had been given medicine that first day I almost collapsed at the bank 3 days
later so went straight to the doctor and he said my blood was so infected I could have been dead within a few hours had I not come in.
 
Urg I hate spiders...I would suggest you to go to the ER, it could be serious...
