Or plant? Sorry if only tangentially related! Second time I don't notice any bites, just itching and after a day or two the monstrosity pictured appears and stays for like a week :( Tropical North Queensland.

First of all whats up with that coin? It looks like its from the bronze age? Is that why you've been digging in the garden? Because that is not a great pay day!

Allergic reaction to a sandfly bite maybe? I've seen those flare up something shocking.

A few of the images on Google do look like my bite, so that's a possibility, thanks.
