21-year-old Dylan Thomas was left horrified after discovering a tropical spider had burrowed underneath his skin during a trip to Bali. Thomas was holidaying with friends when he discovered the strange red trail stretching two inches across his stomach.
He was told by doctors at the Bali International Medical Centre that he was suffering from an allergic reaction to an insect bite and was sent away with some antihistamine cream.
But three days later, when the red mark began to blister, and almost double in length, Dylan knew there was something wrong.
After going back to the medical centre to see a dermatologist, health professionals were shocked to discover that a tropical spider was burrowing just below the surface of his skin.
Doctors managed to extract the spider from Dylan's abdomen and revealed that the insect had buried itself into the scar from his recent appendix removal.
"It was a bit bigger than the size of a match head," said Dylan about the creature.
And the young holiday maker as now earned himself the new nickname Spider-man.
"It takes a lot to deter me, but I do feel violated. It was a very bizarre experience just to know something like that was in my body for a couple of days," Dylan told Australian newspaper NT News.
The spider has now been sent away for testing and Dylan will be informed in the next week about the kind of spider that lived beneath his skin for three days.
