At the park with my kids I felt like something suddenly stung/bit me on the butt. I was wearing jeans. No clue what happened but now I feel dizzy and anxious and my butt hurts and I'm freaking out practically. At first I saw a bump that looked like a bite. Now I can't really see anything anymore. It's been an hour an 15 mins the area still kinda hurts. Should I be worried? Could I have a bad reaction this long after a bite? Allergic reactions are on of my biggest fears :(

Cianna, i doubt it was a bite, if it was and you had an allergy you
would have been in really bad shape very quick, not being able to
see it should be a clue to the non-seriousness of the incident.

Could also just be a burr. If it got through your jeans, that'd be one hefty bug.

And yep, if you were going to have an allergic reaction, you'd have known it extremely swiftly!!

Try a little Epsom salt wash if you're still bothered by it.
