A tourist who fell asleep on a beach in New Zealand following a ########## swim has been admitted to hospital after a venomous native spider bit him on his penis.
The 22-year-old Canadian,

"He rapidly developed generalised muscle pains, fever, headache, photophobia [light sensitivity] and vomiting.

By the time the tourist reached the nearest hospital, in the northern town of Dargaville,

The following morning, chest pain and other symptoms developed and doctors diagnosed he had been bitten by a katipo, a rare native spider related to the Australian redback and North American black widow spiders.
The man was treated with anti-venom medicine sent from the regional hospital in Whangarei.
Although his condition rapidly improved the heart problems persisted.
As a result, he was treated at Whangarei Hospital then transferred to the much larger Auckland Hospital before returning home to Canada.
"He was discharged after a total of 16 days in hospital. On review he was generally well," the medical journal report says.
