A Kansas mother of four was left fighting for her life after suspected spider bites at Cheney Lake developed into a medical emergency involving blood clots, infections and liver failure.
Britagne Miller, from Goddard, Kansas, said she was enjoying a family campfire at the lake on 28 May when multiple spiders crawled over her, leaving bites across her body. Four days later, a painful bruise appeared near one of the bites on her calf and continued to swell.
