Spider burrows under man’s skin

An Australian man had a tropical spider removed from his stomach after it burrowed its way into his body and survived for three days before being removed.

Dylan Maxwell was on holidays on the Indonesian island of Bali when the tiny creature burrowed through a small appendix scar and travelled up his torso, leaving a red scar-like trail from his navel to his chest.

Lifting his shirt, Dylan told an Australian television network “that’s where it actually burrowed underneath my skin”.
