A Melbourne man has had both legs amputated after being bitten by a whitebacked spider. He remains in hospital in a serious condition and may have his arms amputated if his condition doesn't improve.
If youare inclined this way please send a prayer for this poor soul.

Looks like it was not the Whiteback Spiders venom that was to blame. The spider induced a “flesh-eating bacteria”
