A Brown Recluse Spider Bite Destroyed This Guy’s Leg, And You DO NOT Want To See What It Looked Like


Nope, nope andddd nope. Previously, I convinced myself that my 8-hour flight back from Spring Break 2009 in Acapulco was the worst ever flight known to man, having sat there hungover AF and suffering from wild swings of chills and sweats and vomit-inducing nausea…only to find out later the reason I felt sooooo shitty was because I contracted Mono when we were out one night. Shit luck. But this dude tops my suffering a billion times over…

OMFG.

I can’t even imagine being stuck on an airplane of all places and getting bit by ONE OF THE MOST VENOMOUS SPIDERS ON EARTH. That is honestly how an Oscar-winning horror movie would begin. It’s hard to even come to terms with the fact that something as small as a penny, which you could totally squash with your foot, has the ability to unleash unbearable flesh-eating venom on you that is deadly in a matter of hours. Fucking evolution, man.

You do not want to look at what brown recluse spider bites look like. You do not want to look at what brown recluse spider bites look like. You do not want to look at what brown recluse spider bites look like. You do not want to look at what brown recluse spider bites look like.

And God bless you if you just did.

That dude is lucky to be alive, although there’s no telling if he still relives this in his nightmares every evening.
