Apparently, the spider injected him with embryonic stem cells. I can think of no other possible cure.

It is hard to tell from this story whether the spider bite had anything to do with his recovery...other than, maybe, the “spasm”.

"Then the spider bite. A Brown Recluse sent him to the hospital, then to rehab for eight months."
Gee, I hate to be a party pooper, but before anybody goes out and has themselves bitten by a potentially deadly spider, you might just want to try the eight months of therapy first.

IIRC, spider venom is a nerve toxin, meant to paralyze the prey so the spider can eat it at its leisure. So it wouldn’t be completely unlikely that the spider venom had some effect on this man’s nervous system.

Is this kind of like the lady who got stung by bees and her arthritis went away?

It’s the ancient French martial art of Dance Boxing.

About the only good result I ever heard of out of a Brown Recluse bite.
