Spider Lays Eggs in Man's Toe during Cruise Holiday

In the News

It is not only spiderman that was affected by the bite from an arachnid , this man also suffered from a bite from one

He was on a cruise and the ship docked in Marseille, in the south of France at the time

He wasn't left spinning webs , but was in a spin when his toe turned purple overnight

That wasn't the worse of the problems, doctors then discovered the spider had laid eggs inside his toe

When the doctor cut his toe open, the spider's eggs spilled out

Even after antibiotics he had to return to the doctor

He then found a hatched spider under the skin of his toe trying to burrow out

I doubt this kind of thing happens with domestic spiders, this one was a none poisonous Peruvian wolf spider

But i would keep an eye out on the 'web' for further info

I have just read the story from your link and probably wished I hadn’t after seeing the photo of the toe, that was pretty nasty.

I had a serious spider bite a few years ago from one of those fake or false widow spiders we presumed and ended up in hospital for about 5 days and had to have surgery to get down to healthy bleeding tissue. I was scared of spiders before but now I have a list of people on my phone who i can call anytime of the day or not to come and save me if I have a spider in my house !

Photos available if i am allowed to put them on here.
