UK man develops flesh-eating disease after being bitten by spider

A 59-year-old British man developed a rare flesh-eating disease which required surgery after being bitten by a spider on his stomach. He had developed necrotising fasciitis, a life-threatening infection which can happen if a wound gets infected and requires immediate treatment. "If I hadn't gone...to...hospital...within that critical 6-10 day window, I wouldn't be alive today," said the man.
