Episode Details

Hospital admissions for spider bites in England have surged, with cases doubling over the past decade. The rise is attributed to the proliferation of false widow spiders, which have become the most common biting species. These spiders, originally from Madeira and the Canary Islands, have seen a population explosion, thriving around homes and gardens. Bites can cause pain and potentially lead to infections. Experts advise respecting these spiders while keeping a safe distance, as they play a crucial role in the ecosystem.
