Mom of 4 recovering after suspected spider bite leads to severe complications: reports

A Kansas mother of four is reportedly recovering after a suspected spider bite led to surgery, serious infections and a weeks-long hospital stay.

Britagne Miller of Goddard — about 14 miles west of Wichita — said she was sitting around a campfire with her husband and children at Cheney Lake May 28, when several spiders crawled on her and apparently bit her, according to local outlets KAKE and FOX Kansas.

Four days later, the area around one bite on her calf became swollen and painful, prompting her to seek medical care, FOX Kansas reported.

"This one kept swelling and swelling, and it was like, you know, a fire stir that's metal," Miller told KAKE. "It was like shooting down my leg into my foot, and it felt like it was being stabbed."
