A bloke says he was bitten on the HEAD by the UK's only deadly snake - after his wife 'suggested they leave their tent open as they slept'. Tony Mohammed said he felt a burning sensation on his head in the middle of the night but after brushing at his scalp shrugged it off and fell back asleep.
The following morning the 56-year-old woke up to find clear liquid streaming down his head 'like a waterfall'. After spotting a small blister on the left side of his scalp he believed he'd been chomped on by a false widow spider and thought nothing more of it.
It was only as clear fluid continually oozed from the bite site during a walk later that day that Tony decided to get it checked out. At a walk-in centre the automated industry quality inspector's wound was cleaned with a saline solution, he was found to have a fever and was prescribed antibiotics and antihistamine cream.
