(KS)
ALL NEW AT FIVE THIRTY ...
A FAMILY IN MENDON,
MASS, IS WARNING
OTHERS ABOUT THE
DANGERS OF BLACK
WIDOW SPIDERS.
(MM)
THEY RUSHED THEIR 5-
YEAR-OLD GIRL TO THE
EMERGENCY ROOM...
AFTER A BUG BITE
TURNED OUT NOT TO BE
SO INNOCENT.
KRISTINE DONOVAN
NOTICED HER DAUGHTER
"KAILYN" HAD A SMALL
PURPLE BRUISE ON THE
BACK OF HER KNEE...
LATER, THE GIRL'S
SCHOOL CALLED TO SAY
SHE HAD A FEVER.
(KS)
ANTIBIOTICS DIDN'T END
UP HELPING HER FEEL
BETTER --
AND AN INFECTIOUS
DISEASE DOCTOR
CONFIRMED, IT WAS A
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
THAT BIT THE GIRL.

Daughter Bitten by Black Widow
Spider
"I didn't know what to say. It's
not
something you would expect,
especially in Massachusetts.
I've
never seen it."
Kristine Donovan
Daughter Bitten by Black Widow
Spider
"If you think it's something,
just
keep looking for an answer. I
had
a feeling it was pretty bad, and
I
just kept pushing to have it
checked out."
(KS)
THE BLACK MARK ON
KAILYN'S LEG WAS THE
VENOM OF THE SPIDER...
IF THEY'D WAITED ANY
LONGER TO GET HER
CHECKED OUT IT WOULD
HAVE BEEN WORSE...
IT'S VERY UNCOMMON TO
BE BITTEN BY A BLACK
WIDOW SPIDER IN THE
REGION, BUT POISON
CONTROL OFFICIALS SAY
THEY CAN BE FOUND IN
MASSACHUETTS.
(KS)
TO RECOGNIZE THE BITE --
YOU MAY FEEL SEVERE
PAIN, BURNING, SWELLING
OR REDNESS AT THE
SITE... YOU MIGHT EVEN
SEE TWO FANG MARKS.
SYMPTOMS CAN ALSO
INCLUDE WEAKNESS,
SWEATING, AND NAUSEA
OR VOMITING.
