Man in excruciating pain and on crutches after being bitten by spider in bed

A man has been left in constant pain and on crutches after being bitten by a spider while he lay in bed. David Webster, 37, was bitten on the leg and says it felt like "a nip".

Shortly after, he was in excruciating pain, with pins and needles all down his left side, reports GrimsbyLive. The bite developed a red ring that soon blistered. Eventually, the pain was so bad David was forced to go to A&E.

"The nurse at the hospital drained the blister and cut away the skin around the area," David said. "This caused severe pain but I knew it was probably best as they're professionals and must know what they are doing."
