A Georgia woman’s recovering after an attack by a group of deadly spiders landed her in the hospital … and, while she’s out of immediate danger, she says she may never be the same.
Jessica Rogue — a single mom to three daughters just outside Athens, Georgia — came across several brown recluse spiders while cleaning out a shed in her home … sweeping away the webs when she says she felt a bite near her eye.
Within 24 hours, Jessica needed to be rushed to the hospital after her face, arms and throat swelled up and a rash spread across her body … and shocking photos show just how much the bites affected her.
Check out the pics … Rogue’s face is covered in the extensive rash. When speaking with the local news outlet, AtlantaNewsFirst, Rogue wore an eyepatch — saying she feels a ton of pain in the eye, and she’s worried it won’t recover.
A GoFundMe‘s been started for Rogue’s medical expenses … noting she’s unable to work because of the pain and adding her skin’s constantly on fire. The fundraiser’s brought in $4,915 of its $13k goal at the time of this writing.
Brown recluse spiders are some of the most deadly in the United States and can be identified by the violin-shaped markings on their back.
Sounds like Jessica’s lucky to be alive … though the symptoms she’s facing have lingered long beyond the initial bite.
