| Newly hatched Araneus diadematus |
While Asleep 16-year-old Lucy was bitten by a spider on her cheek. She would tell her mother the next day about a red mark on her cheek. Her mother would tell her "It looks like a spider bite, it'll go away if you don't bother it." So Lucy would listen to her.
However, the red mark would get bigger, nastier looking, and more painful. Her mother would tell her again not to bother it. This time she was thinking it was a pimple of some sort. After days of it growing and becoming more painful the mother planned to take her to their Doctor.
The day before going Lucy would soak in a hot bath. She would put her face under the water to help soothe the bump, but that was when it suddenly became more painful. She would sit up and touch the boil. It seemed to be moving, and that is when it bursts and releases hundreds of baby spiders. The spider did not simply bite the girl but laid eggs in her face. This would cause Lucy's face to get deformed and was placed in an insane asylum for the rest of her life.
This story began in the 1970's. In other versions, the woman went vacationing somewhere like Mexico. She would get a spider "bite" and return home to get it cured. She would also have them either burst from her face or surgically get it removed. This is actually impossible for as spiders cannot lay an egg inside of someone
