Default Spider bite.

Seems to be more and more of these stories cropping up people having reactions to being bit by spiders, mosquitos and ticks!

''A woman who was bitten by a house spider had to be rushed to hospital and drip-fed antibiotics after the bite festered into pus-filled blister - which then burst.

Julie Roberts, 41, was watching TV in her living room at her home in North Hull when the spider - which she describes as pale and whitish - scuttled up and nipped her ankle.
What started off as just a small spot swelled over the course of a few days into a golf-ball sized lump and her ankle became stiff and painful.

The mother-of-four went to the doctors and got some antibiotics for the bite.
But she decided to go to hospital after nearly a week had gone by, and blisters began to form around the bite.

She was kept in hospital for three days as doctors battled against the spider's venom and the boil burst - twice.
Mrs Roberts, a secretary, said: 'The doctor said it could have poisoned my blood. The whole thing was terrifying.

Anybody else had a nasty bite or sting?
