A 21-year-old Australian tradesman has called himself the “unluckiest guy in Australia” after a venomous spider bit his penis for the second time in five months.
The man, identified as Jordan, used a portable toilet in Sydney on Tuesday, when the same stinging incident occurred.
“I’m the most unlucky guy in the country at the moment,” Jordan told BBC.
“I was sitting on the toilet doing my business and just felt the sting that I felt the first time. I was like I can’t believe it’s happened again. I looked down and I’ve seen a few little legs come from around the rim.”
In the first spider incident, Jordan was “assaulted” by a redback spider, a relative of Australia’s black widow spider. However, he was uncertain which breed pricked his phallus this time. Although he was cautious about using toilets after the first bite, he decided to use the newly cleaned portable toilet.
“Toilets got cleaned that day and I thought it was my opportunity to go use one. Had a look under both seats and then I sat down did my business. Next thing you know, I’m bent over in pain,” he mentioned to the news site. In a separate interview with Kiis FM Radio, cited by Telegraph, he remembered the bite as much more painful than before.
“It is a really sharp intense pain at the start…It’s redder, a bit more swollen, it hurts a bit more. I got tetanus and antivenom yesterday,” he told the radio station.
His colleagues brought him to the nearest hospital and the hospital staff even recognized him from his previous incident.
He narrated to the radio station, “They remembered me from the last time it happened. Everyone was laughing, calling me the unluckiest man in Australia.”
The redback spider, a native species of spiders found in Australia, preys on insects and resides near or inside homes.
