"So the most freak thing happened. Forrest got a bug bite on his hiney and after a few days somehow it turned into a staph which turned into a boil!" Decker wrote in the caption. "It was like a golf ball it was so hard and he was in so much pain."
Forrest was suffering from a "high fever," resulting in a "late night" trip to the hospital, where only Decker could accompany her kiddo due to the coronavirus outbreak.

She finished her post with a question: "Has this ever happened to anyone else?"
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A handful of Decker's commented to share stories of similar scares.
"Yes!! I’m a pediatric nurse in Brooklyn and we see stuff like this every single day!!!" responded a fan. "Glad he handled it well."
Another fan who identified themselves as an ED nurse called the occurrence "not all that uncommon."

"Yes! This happens to my son after mosquito bites and fire ant bites. My son has bad reactions to pretty much any bug bite," another fan revealed. "Mosquito bites turn into welts but never boils. His ant bites turn into water blisters and he always gets put on antibiotics."
