A student was rushed to emergency surgery and left in agonising pain after being bitten by a spider.
Anya Cantrell, 20, said she ‘could have died’ if doctors did not rush her to surgery in time
She was initially unconcerned, but the injury worsened over the next two days – and eventually, her hand ‘doubled in size’.Doctors ended up rushing her into surgery on January 10 to drain the fluid from the wound. While false widow spiders do have a venomous bite, the venom is not particularly potent or dangerous.Anya, who was scared of spiders before her bite, is now worried the creature hasn’t left her home.‘My parents dropped me back from the surgery and I asked my dad to come into my room and check everywhere, search all the corners and everything.
She is hoping her scheme to leave her bedroom door open while away at her parents’ house has meant the spider has left.
