Daisy chooses to give a dry snort of a laugh at the NHS comment rather than engage with the part she has absolutely no idea how to handle: Erin's blatant worry, Erin helping. It still makes her bristle a little to be this physically vulnerable in front of someone.
"I don't even know if medicine works the same now. Or if it'll work on this." Hard to know when she hasn't had reason to take it, when the only time she's been sick in years it was something medicine wouldn't help. Still, she takes the antibiotics from her and squints a little at the packaging to figure out the damn dosage. "I don't— I'm serious. This doesn't... this doesn't happen. Whatever this is— it's not. It's not because the wounds got infected the normal way. That doesn't. Happen."
The bite did something else to her and her body's been trying to figure out what to do about it ever since, it feels like.
