Redback spider bites tradie's genitalia in Sydney portaloo
A Sydney tradie has been hospitalised after being bitten on the penis by a redback spider while using a portaloo in a building site in the city's south.
The 21-year-old was taking a break on a residential construction site in Kogarah when he was bitten shortly after sitting down.
He then managed to make his own way to St George Hospital emergency department just moments later.
“He’s somehow managed to get alternative transport to hospital,” a NSW Ambulance spokesman said.
He remains in a stable condition, according to The Herald Sun.
