Piping The Truth Into Your Brainballs!
Story published on August 1, 2009
A man in Orange, France nearly died and received terrible injuries after he was bitten by a deadly brown recluse spider which is usually native to North America.
59 year old François Inderchit says that he rolled over in bed and crushed the nasty little arachnid. The Telegraph reports that Inderchit felt the bite, but it had only left a small red mark so he thought nothing of it. However later that evening Inderchit began shivering and vomiting, the small red mark had become a large necrotizing ulcer. Inderchit was rushed to hospital the next morning.
Marseille’s anti-poison unit identified the spider as a venomous brown recluse after hearing the description of the culprit. The brown recluse is sometimes referred to as the violin spider due to the markings on it’s back, it is usually found in the Southern States of the US but is now thriving in the warm climes of Southern France.
Doctors say Inderchit would have died if he had waited another hour before calling an ambulance.
