A 23-year-old man, Giuseppe Russo, died in the reanimation ward of the Bari General Hospital due to complications from the bite of a spider spider that stung him in the right leg last 13 July in Collepasso, in the province of Lecce, while he was cleaning up in a countryside area on behalf of the company he worked for.
The boy initially thought it was a mosquito bite, but then the lump became bigger and bigger and the 23-year-old began to experience severe pain. An abscess formed on the leg that sent the limb into necrosis. He died of septic shock and multi-organ failure.
As his condition worsened, the young man went to hospital and was admitted first to Tricase and then to Lecce.
However, the situation worsened, particularly last night, when it was decided to transfer him to the Bari General Hospital where he died at dawn.
