The Spider Bite

The Spider Bite or The Red Spot is a modern urban legend that emerged in England during the 1970s.

The legend features a young woman from a frigid, northern location (England, New York City, etc.), who is on vacation abroad in a warm southern location (Mexico, etc.). While sunbathing on the beach, she is bitten on the cheek by a spider. The bite swells into a large boil and she rushes home to seek medical treatment. She finds a doctor to lance the boil, causing hundreds of tiny spiders to emerge. She is driven insane by the shock.
