A U.S. Woman needed to have a breast amputed this week on account of a spider bite. However the woman, Victoria Franklin of Atlanta Georgia, seemed more upset over the circumstances of the breast removal more than the removal itself: “It’s really hard for me because I have been an independent lady for so long, and to think this was nearly taken away from me by a spider.
That’s what scares me — not losing a breast, but the fact that a spider did me in. I have to learn to do everything all over again.” According to her sister Valerie Dapaa who took her to the hospital, Franklin’s breast “was three times the size, black as tar and had a horrible smell.”
The spider culprit is suspected to be a brown recluse spider, and Franklin’s condition is known as necrotic arachnidism. The brown recluse spider is found for the most part in the south central part of the U.S.
