Worker closing down Baldwin’s ‘Rust’ set bitten by poisonous spider, may lose arm

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.

Nitroglycerin patch like they use for people with heart trouble. (I don’t have it, but family does.) Nitro tablets will work also. Depending upon the size of the bite area, cut the nitro patch to cover the bite. For the tablets I only used 1/4 of tablet on fresh bite. It always works. Within a couple of days, possible 2 treatments.

It dilates the blood vessels and opens up the flow of blood into the bit area which is sealed of by the venom.

When using tablets, simply drop a single drop of water over the pill fragment and cover with bandaid to hold the moisture and pill in place as it dissolves.

Real spiders and stunt spiders are difficult to tell apart.

Explicit gore like that shouldn’t be posted out in the open. Ask the mods to clean up your mess.

“I knew some people who went camping in the Arizona desert. They were upset to learn that tarantulas emerge during the night.”
Tarantulas are pretty much harmless.

Note the comments.

With today's mobile society it is inevitable that one will arrive. If they will breed or not I do not know for certain.

This will now be known as “The Movie That Can’t Be Made.” I Only hope that it’s infamous legend doesn’t get money is no object backers to later pull it off the shelf and finish it.
