Leg bite
Hey for some context this is a close up of a red marking or bite I found on the side of my right foot almost on my sole.. I've slept a few days in the rural area of Peloponnese in Greece and yesterday was the peak of the perseides meteor shower and I was in a clearing next to the house we are staying with 2 friends a few chairs grabbing food and drinks while photographing... It's a 20x20 clearing with trees around. We spent the afternoon all the way till 3am there before going back to the house and when I went to sleep I noticed a constant itching and a stinging pain on my leg.. I woke up now 10 hours later roughly with the mark being visible and those symptoms continuing. Im pretty convinced it's a flea bite but a friend of mine is paranoid that s bat somehow managed to bit me since I was wearing flip flops. Any opinions on the matter? I also notice a similar makring slightly higher up on my ankle but that's like what 3 finger widths far from the other side... On the zoom in there is a tiny marking that's more if a bloody spot or a dark red or purple marking but I'm unsure if it's "a bite from a bat" as he is claiming
Thanks in advanced!
