Spider lays eggs in man’s toe during cruise holiday | World News<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A cruise ship passenger has told of his horror after discovering a spider had laid eggs inside his toe – including one that hatched.<\/p>\n
Colin Blake and his wife were spending the evening in Marseille, in the south of France<\/strong>, after the ship had docked on their 35th wedding anniversary trip – when his toe swelled up and turned purple.<\/p>\n The following day, he visited the on-board doctor who told him a Peruvian wolf spider had bitten him and laid eggs inside his toe.<\/p>\n Wolf spiders, which are not poisonous, are often found in the French port city after arriving on cargo ships.<\/p>\n Mr Blake, who lives in Cramlington, Northumberland<\/strong>, told BBC Radio Scotland: “My wife thought it may be because I had new sandals and they were rubbing on my big toe and that was causing it to be red.”<\/p>\n The doctor cut his toe open, causing the spider’s eggs to pour out.<\/p>\n After the holiday, Mr Blake went to hospital in the UK where doctors prescribed antibiotics – but four weeks later, he noticed something else unusual in his toe.<\/p>\n Read more from Sky News: On another visit to the doctors, they discovered one of the eggs had hatched into a small spider, which was stuck underneath his skin.<\/p>\n He said: “They believe the spider was making its way out – eating its way out of my toe.”<\/p>\n Mr Blake chose not to keep the dead spider when asked by medics.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0635\u062f\u0631<\/a>
