[MickS]

Spider bites tourist on penis in New Zealand

"He woke to find his penis swollen and painful....This is often accompanied by profuse sweating, difficulty in breathing, vomiting, convulsions, and other effects...."

Hmmm..also symptomatic of waking the next morning to realise you wore the beer goggles out the night before..get this cougar off me!!!...

That will teach him....

Now are they sure it was a spider that caused the problem?

NOT a red back............ a relative of the red back native to Un Zud!!

Yep, the Katipo, they aren't known to get aggressive so goodness knows what he was trying to do in his sleep...

And remember kids...never try to suck the poison or venom out... Compression bandage and immobilise the "limb"....

[It'sNotWorthComplaining!]

The Article said He was nude swimming Then "accidently fell asleep in the sand dunes" Sure! and it also said they "attack only in self-defence"
Hmm, why did the spider have to defend itself ?

Sound similar to the story I read years ago about a bloke taken to emergency in the Alfred hospital, With a Golf ball stuck some where.,
The reason given was " I was bouncing it in the shower and it bounced up"

This is a quote from the story.

"This is often accompanied by profuse sweating, difficulty in breathing, vomiting, convulsions, and other effects, the encyclopedia says."


For those of you that are familiar with Alice Cooper you might remember the song Black Widow.


From the quote above if you remove the last five words and substitute with the word DEATH you have a quote from the song.

Almost plagiarism.
