False widow spiders on the loose

Today we meet two people who are thought to have been bitten by the country's most dangerous spider, the false widow.

Amelia was bitten while she was sleeping, leading to a golf-ball sized swelling on her face, and Sunil was bitten as he collected the washing. Sunil's bite led to puss oozing from his neck, followed by severe shaking down his left side - he describes the bite as 'being hit by lighting'.

We also meet spider expert Chris Woodard who has been bitten several times, but without having a single reaction, and blames the media hype for all the fuss.
