That bite resulted in debilitating pain to my right arm movement which lasted about a little over one month. After doing some online research, the idea of dengue, chikengunya, or zika virus seemed to describe my condition, but I&#39;ll never know for sure. The condition finally subsided on it&#39;s own after about 5 weeks which is what the health articles suggested. They also suggested building an immunity to further future bites from the same source. <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="https://www.thehealthsite.com/news/chikungunya-vs-dengue-understanding-the-difference-between-the-two-d0818-594325/">www.thehealthsite.com/.../chikungunya-vs-dengue-understanding-the-difference-between-the-two-d0818-594325</a> </p>
