2 Spider in the body

21-year-old Dylan Thomas found a trail of red blisters on his body running from his navel to his chest. He had just returned from a vacation. He thought that he was bitten by an insect.

To his utter surprise and horror, he found out that it was not an insect bite, but bites from a spider that had managed to enter inside his body. The red trail was the bite marks and the toxic substance secreted by the spider under the skin.

The doctor removed the spider and informed Dylan that it might have entered via an old operation scar.
