Spider bite lands New Zealand pregnant mum in hospital for surgery and skin grafts: Renee Peck

A suspected spider bite on the wrist has turned into a painful ordeal for a pregnant mum who has spent the last week in hospital. New Zealand woman Renee Peck has already undergone two surgeries, has stitches running up the side of her arm and will require a skin graft. 'The bite was into a vein so has gone into my bloodstream, and I'm probably going to need more surgery,' Ms Peck told Stuff. Ms Peck recalled seeing a spider on her bed before being bitten and suspects it could have been a white-tail spider as she's previously been bitten by one. Ms Peck said she had all the symptoms of a white-tail spider bite, including a red mark, local itchiness, swelling and pain.
