Nigel Hunt, 59, from the Isles of Scilly, was bitten by what is believed to either be a false widow or brown recluse spider just before his holiday to Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. He felt fine to begin with but was sick two days later and started to feel worse as the bite got bigger.
This is a rare and life-threatening infection that can happen if a wound gets infected, according to the NHS. It needs to be treated in hospital straight away. Nigel’s skin started rotting away Nigel said: ‘If I hadn’t been to the hospital for a second examination within six to 10 days, I would be dead. ‘They haven’t given me an all-clear date yet as the wound is still open and I have to have it packed every couple of days. ‘I just have to make sure it hasn’t started spreading again.
