WARNING: If you’re arachnophobic you’re going to want to look away now.
An Australian tourist’s holiday in Bali ended horrifyingly when doctors were forced to pull a tropical spider out of his stomach.
Medical staff at Bali International Medical Centre said the spider had burrowed itself into Dylan Thomas’s skin through a scar from where his appendix had been removed.
The 21-year-old, from Bunbury, Western Australia, told NT News he woke up on Saturday morning to find a red two-inch trail rising up from his stomach.
When he first went to doctors on Sunday they told him it was an insect bite and gave him some cream, NT News reported.
By Monday morning the trail had started to blister.
Then Thomas saw a dermatologist, who recognised things were not right.
Doctors operated and removed a spider the size of a match head from his body.
"It takes a lot to deter me, but I do feel violated.
"It was a very bizarre experience just to know something like that was in my body for a couple of days."
