Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 About 15 years ago, I was lying in bed and noticed what I though was a boil or bug bite on my upper thigh and thought, "Hum, that's been around awhile." A few days later, I happened to lay my hand on my groin above that bit and noticed the lymph nodes were noticably sore and swollen and tender to the touch. No other symptom. I went to the Dr immediately as the symptom was so bizzare. He couldn't figure it out. From then on, I developed a fever that got progressively higher, over 103 for the next two weeks. I went to the emergency room; had blood work ups, nothing. Finally, I said the heck with this and put a clove of garlic on it. In retrospect, that was too extreme; today, I would use garlic mashed in olive oil and left to sit for 8 hours. The garlic burned and left scaring, but the boil or whatever it was turned black and dropped off; the fever disappeared with it.
