Ok, so this has been really bothering me because I can't seem to find an explanation for it. It's feeding into a different fear I have about a rabid bat hiding beneath a toilet seat that I flushed away without noticing, but I'm trying not to focus on that and find a normal explanation for the feeling I experienced.
This happened when I was using the bathroom about 2 weeks ago. I sat down on the loo and felt a sharp stab/bee sting/bite feeling on my left bum cheek (why cant it be in a less embarrassing region haha). It made me jump in surprise, but I didn't think to check it. I was in a rush to leave.
The skin wasn't touching anything when I sat down, so it's not like there was anything sharp on the loo seat. Not an insect as it's the middle of winter.
It was a single quick zap of pain, like when you get stung or bitten, and then it felt a bit tender afterwards. No welts or hives there. It's still tender, but that's probably from thinking about it and checking it so much.
Could this have been a nerve misfiring? Is that even a thing? This genuinely felt like the surface of my skin was being pierced with a needle or thumb tack.
If anybody has felt a similar sensation on their skin, I'd love to know because I'm freaking out a lot about it. If it's just something that sometimes happens to lots of people, I'll probably be able to calm down a little.
