A scary encounter with what is believed to have been a Brown Recluse on an airplane:
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mans-leg-burst-open-after-venomous-spider-bite/
A London man is lucky he didn't lose his leg after he was bitten by a venomous spider, resulting in an injury he described as "something from a horror film."
Jonathan Hogg told U.K. media he was bitten by the spider, believed to be a brown recluse, on an international Qatar Airways flight over the summer.
"The pain was like nothing I've been through in my life. By the time I got to hospital my leg was bursting open, there was pus, it was black," Hogg told reporters.
