Georgian Woman Loses Breast Following Spider Bite

May 24, 2010

A woman from Georgia has lost her breast after she was bitten by a poisonous spider and slipped into a coma.

Victoria Franklin is lucky to even be alive after being bitten by a spider back on April ninth, and calling her twin sister after she realized that something was very wrong.

According to her twin, Valerie Dapaa, 51, by the time she took her sister to the hospital, her breast was the size of a loaf of bread.

“Her breast was three times the size, black as tar and had a horrible smell,” she said.

“They call it the smell of death,” said Dapaa. “The doctors said they didn’t know if they could save her. She was diabetic and her sugar was up to 700.”

Doctors rushed her into surgery where her breast was cut away, effectively saving her life.

“I don’t even remember being bit,” Franklin stated.
