Another reminder that the spider has to be radioactive in order for you to become a crime-fighting hero.
Richard Stevens, a 40-year-old man from the UK, woke up to what looked like a typical insect bite on his leg, but it turned out to be much worst as the days went by, and the wound became more and more painful. The wound on his leg became sore, swollen and inflamed, forcing Richard to head to the hospital.
Richard later found out that he would need surgery because he had just been filled with poison by a false widow spider. Check out the video Richard posted about the gross wound on his leg. And as a heads up, the video is quite disgusting and not for the weak stomachs out there.
“It looked like someone had got a cigarette lighter from a car and plunged it in to my leg,” Richard said. Richard also recalls finding out just what caused the wound: “I asked what it was, what had caused it to be such a bad reaction, the fact that my flesh had rotted away.”
The doctors confirmed the bite came from a false widow spider.
“It’s completely healed now but left a deep scar. It looks like a bullet wound,” Richard adds.
Well, at least he didn’t lose his leg, so I guess we can take solace in that while we search every crevice of our house in hopes we don’t find any spiders.
