Mobile phone picture of spider helps save bite victim



'When chef Matthew Stevens was bitten by a spider while cleaning in his Somerset pub, his mobile phone helped save his life. He used it to take the spider's picture.
Within moments of being bitten twice by the large and unusual arachnid, Mr Stevens began to feel ill. Realising he had been poisoned by something more exotic than the native spiders of the Quantock Gateway pub in Bridgwater, he snapped the spider on his phone.

A colleague rushed him to a community hospital, but they could find nothing wrong and told him to go home. After arriving back at his house, he collapsed as the venom worked its way into his system. His partner, Cara McSweeney called an ambulance, and Mr Stevens was taken to Musgrove Park hospital in Taunton, where doctors placed him on a saline drip.'
