Here's a story that'll send the creeps up and down your spine, a Bayonne girl dies after a spider bite

Now of course we're awaiting the toxicology reports but a Bayonne girl, Marissa Marie Ciolek, was bitten by a spider on Christmas Day and her condition went steadily downhill after that.

According to the Jersey Journal:

"Bayonne Health Officer Richard Censullo said two types of spiders are found in the area, the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider. Both spiders can give a "nasty bites," but bites that are not usually fatal unless the victim has an allergy, such as anaphylaxis, he said."

Yikes, sleep well.

  2. Anonymous--I was going by the police report--"Police said Ciolek had been bitten by a spider on Christmas Day and had been treated for the bite."

    If it wasn't a spider we'll correct the story.
