Ronald Reese was bitten in the neck by the spider, which are usually about the size of a U.S. quarter, all the way back in August while clearing out an old house.
What followed were six agonizing months of related illnesses as the Lakeland man clung to life with an abscess eating away toward his spine until he finally let go last week.
Reese managed to make it home that day in August after he was bitten, but by the following day his father told TheLedger.comthat his son could barely get out of bed.
Days after that, a paralyzed Reese collapsed.
The Polk County Medical Examiner deemed his death the result of complications from a spider bite, but between his collapse and his eventual death, Reese suffered terribly.
