A UK man was hospitalized after a spider bite caused a severe, spreading infection requiring multiple surgeries.
A 40-year-old man from Coventry, Chris Keegan, was hospitalized after a small spider bite caused a severe, rapidly spreading infection that swelled his hand to the size of a bowling ball and turned it purple.
Despite antibiotics, his condition worsened, requiring emergency surgery to remove necrotic tissue.
He underwent multiple procedures over five days, recovered with scarring, and was discharged.
While a false widow spider is suspected, medical experts cannot confirm the cause, noting the bite may have triggered an infection rather than caused it directly.
The case highlights the risk of serious complications from minor insect bites, as nearly 100 people in the UK were hospitalized for spider bites in 2024.
