A mysterious bug that bit an Arizona man has doctors baffled after a small bite grew to a mass of dark and painful bruises.

Thomas Jay was taking out the trash when an insect unlike any he has seen before bit him.

“As I glanced at it really quick, all of a sudden I just felt this excruciating pinch, this pressure, this bite or a sting that happened,” Jay told CBS 5.
