Man gets spider bite to the penis for second time in five months

SYDNEY — A construction worker has a terrible knack for attracting venomous spiders down under.

On September 27, Jordan, 21, was working at a work site in north-west Sydney when nature called and he had no choice but to answer. Having been bit by a spider on his penis under such circumstances just five months earlier, Jordan was a bit nervous to sit on the toilet.

After a quick inspection, Jordan planted himself down and took care of business, that is until he suddenly felt a sting in a familiar place. When he looked down between his legs, he saw the spindly little legs of an arachnid crawling around the rim of the toilet.

It is unknown exactly what kind of spider bit Jordan. Previously, he was believed to have been bitten by a redback spider, whose venom causes extreme pain, sweating, and nausea.

Jordan’s coworkers rushed him to a nearby hospital, and he’s expected to be back on the job soon.
