Rob Bendelow experienced intense pain from what he suspects was a false widow spider bite while sleeping at his partner's home. Initially mistaking the mark on his leg for a bee sting, his condition deteriorated, leading him to seek emergency medical treatment for an infected wound. After being treated with antibiotics and avoiding surgery, Rob recovered but remains cautious of potential spiders in his bedroom. His frightful encounter underscores the increased risks of spider bites during warm weather conditions.
I'd fallen asleep and woke up the next morning to what I thought was a bee sting on the back of my right leg. My partner loves to leave the bedroom windows open.
I discovered he was bitten by what he believes is a false widow spider - whose bites produce necrosis of the flesh.
Because the weather has been so hot, it's the perfect breeding ground for them.
It was irritating and I kept feeling a pressure in it. It wasn't that painful, it was just irritating. After two days, I was in excruciating pain.
