Worker closing down Baldwin’s ‘Rust’ set bitten by poisonous spider, may lose arm
NY Post ^ | 11-7-21 | David Meyer

A production worker on Alec Baldwin’s tragedy-marred flick “Rust” was bitten by a poisonous spider while helping to close down the set after its fatal accidental shooting — and may now lose his arm.

Lamp operator and pipe rigger Jason Miller was bitten by a venomous brown recluse while helping wrap up film production after Baldwin shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on Oct. 21, Sky News said.

A JustGiving fundraising page said Miller has experienced necrosis of his arm and sepsis as a result of the bite.

“He has been hospitalized and endured multiple surgeries each day as doctors do their best to stop the infection and try to save his arm from amputation,” the page says, according to Sky News.

Brown Recluse spiders are the SCARIEST of them all.

I was bitten by one a couple of years ago. I had a worse reaction from the sulfa drugs than the spider.

Brown recluse spiders cause big ulcers, therefore, big ulcers are caused by brown recluse spiders, therefore, brown recluse spiders cause big ulcers. This proves it. It was a big ulcer, therefore, it was a brown recluse spider.

I was bitten in Tennessee while camping. The pain began as a burning sensation. About 24 hours later I got home and called my doctor immediately. He gave me 6 types of medication. It stopped the process, but the dead feeling spot took 6 months to heal. I didn’t realize how lucky I was at the time.

Any idea if the brown recluses' territory extends to Los Angeles?

I knew some people who went camping in the Arizona desert. They were upset to learn that tarantulas emerge during the night.

Oh I don’t know. Those spiders that catch birds are pretty frightening. Then there’s those in Australia.

Beyond bad luck.

Cursed, apparently.

Brown recluses are bad news.

A link for those who like to see things like that would have been more than enough.

I thank the good Doctor Demento for introducing me to this Australian folk music legend.

One time I was on a job at night near Morenci, AZ. About 2 am, one of my coworkers was sitting on the ground with his hands behind him when a tarantula crawled into the light and onto his hand. Never saw anyone jump as high from a seated position as he did when he looked around to see what that tickle was.

Several of us had seen the tarantula coming, but of course said nothing.

It may be easier to identify the non poisonous spiders in Australia than the poisonous.

" First time, I put a nitro patch on the bite ..."

What is a "nitro patch?"
