Oh so you’re tired of hearing about weird creatures? Well, too bad, because the hobo spider has made its mark— on an unlucky Canadian woman’s leg.
According to the Winnipeg Free Press:
A summertime walk through a Winnipeg field left a woman with a gaping flesh wound - possibly caused after she suffered a rare bite by a vagabond poisonous spider.
Dr. Neil Simonsen, an infectious disease and wound care specialist who has a background in tropical medicine, treated the middle-aged woman who was bitten at the end of June.
According to Simonsen, the bite appears to be from a hobo spider - a species that is not native to Manitoba, but is known to reside in parts of Western Canada.
Hobo spider bites are rare but can instantly kill human tissue, Simonsen said. Although the woman didn't feel the spider bite, Simonsen said within 24 hours a painful, 20-centimetre blister emerged and she was left with a crater of black, dead tissue on her leg.
"It most clearly matches the pattern seen with a hobo spider," Simonsen said. "There was a large amount of tissue death. It looks like a great big hole with all this black, dead tissue in the middle of it."
Leg craters? Blisters? Mmmmm. Time to get to the dining hall!
