Melbourne Australia spider bite – CWEB.com

Terry Pareja from the Philippines was visiting family in Birchip when he was bitten but did not realize anything was wrong until his foot began swelling the following day. No doctor was available in the tiny town of 662 people — and by the time he sought medical help on Monday, flesh-eating bacteria had taken hold.  A man has lost both his legs and could have his arms amputated in a Melbourne Hospital after he was bitten by a white-tail spider in Western Victoria.
