Narrative

On 11/18/2015, an employee was doing paperwork at his desk when he felt a sting on his left arm. When he looked at his arm, he noticed a bite mark from an insect. He ignored the bite initially, but the pain became worse and he decided to go to the hospital on 11/22/2015 at which time he was admitted for treatment. Medical staff determined that he had been bitten by a brown recluse spider.
