Woman Bitten By Spider As She Sat on Toilet Had Two Operations

*I know a lot of people can relate to this story. I can’t possibly be the only one who imagines these crazy things happening that involve the toilet. I close the top of the commode so snakes won’t be able to climb up from the sewer. I check before I squat to pee just to make sure nothing is creeping up there. Hey, TMI, is what you might be thinking. But tell that to the lady who was bitten by a spider while she was on the toilet. The same one that ended up going to the hospital numerous times to have operations.

Yeah, her!

Lauren Boddy from England noticed the red mark on her leg as she sat on the toilet, but didn’t think much of it until the next day, when she couldn’t ignore the pain.

She told The Sun, “I could barely put any weight on the leg,” and said the bite kept getting more red, bigger and “looked like it was full of pus”.

“It was really bizarre. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life,” she added.

She went to the hospital, but was sent home with antibiotics. Two days later she was back.

“I was shivering, had a red line running down my thigh and the bite area was oozing pus,” she said.

This time she was placed on an antibiotic drip. The doctors had found a bite that was 10cm-deep, and told Boddy they had to operate.

“It was such a big hole that they had to pack it, it couldn’t be stitched. I had to go back every other day to have it seen to,” Boddy said.
