A lady doctor was killed on Monday after she was bitten by the black widow spider in a hostel of a private medical college in Abbottabad 15 days ago.
Dr Nadia, a resident of Haripur, was serving at a private medical college of Abbottabad. After initial treatment doctors observed that the poison had spread to Nadia’s arm.
Later, she was shifted to a hospital in Islamabad, where she died.
The female black widow spider has unusually large venum glands and its bite is particularly harmful to humans, if proper treatment is not provided.
