SYDNEY — An Australian man was able to get himself to a hospital after a deadly redback spider bit him on his manhood.
The construction worker was using a portable toilet at a building site on Wednesday morning when he had the unfortunate run in with the arachnid.

"He's somehow managed to get alternative transport to hospital," a NSW Ambulance spokesman said.
A spokesperson for St. George Hospital later confirmed that a 21-year-old man was treated for a redback bite.
The redback spider, closely related to the black widow spider, has a long red stripe on its abdomen.
