Have you ever gotten a spider bite? They can be incredibly painful and even venomous, but one guy in Australia probably has you beat when it comes to horrifying spider bites. A 21-year-old tradesmen is now being called "the unluckiest man in Australia" after being bitten on the penis by a spider not once, but twice! And just within a span of five months!
Yep, that's right --- after a spider bit Jordan from Sydney on his penis earlier this year, it has just happened yet again, The Telegraph reports. And even more insane, both of the bites happened on the same spot on his penis, and took place in the same location: a porta-potty. According to Jordan, the very first time he used a porta-potty again after his first spider bite, the second bite happened. He told KIIS FM Radio that he will never us one again.
There was a little crevice under the bowl and you couldn't lift anything to check. I've checked every toilet since it happened It's the first time I've used a port-a-loo since it happened the first time... I'm never using one again."
After the bite, Jordan rushed to the hospital, where he was treated with antivenom. Unfortunately for Jordan, he also received a heaping helping of humiliation from the hospital workers. The man said that the nurse treated him began giggling when he described his injury, and that she had actually recognized him from when he was brought in to the hospital for the same strange ailment just five months ago.
They remembered me from the last time it happened. Everyone was laughing, calling me the unluckiest man in Australia.
Thankfully, Jordan is reportedly doing fine now, though he did say that his second bite was hurting him more than the first one did. Both bites were from dangerous redback spiders, named for the red markings on their backs and indigenous to Australia. The redback is a particularly troublesome species because they prefer to live near or inside human residences, they're very small and can be hard to spot, and they are also one of the few species of spiders whose venom can seriously harm humans. Thankfully, since an antivenom for redback bites was developed in the mid-1950s, they haven't caused any human deaths since.
Let this be a lesson to anyone who uses a porta-potty in the future out there to be sure you check around before you get started. Don't wind up like Jordan.
