['Joshua Searle']
Hillingdon Times | News
The 34-year-old spotted two small fang marks on his right leg while showering that evening, suspecting the culprit to be a false widow spider.
Doctors told Adam the tissue around the bite had died, and placed him on a strong course of antibiotics before being discharged two days later.
"On August 1st is when it really started affecting me and the infection took hold of my leg.
Adam said: "It's my suspicion it was a false widow spider bite.
I'll probably be wearing running leggings now."
