Pub landlady Glenda Roots needed hospital treatment after being bitten on the leg and arm - Chloe Harding also spotted two false widows in her home
Alarm: Chloe Harding woke up with a bite on her leg
Britain’s most venomous spider is being blamed for awful bites suffered by two women in the same town.
Pub landlady Glenda Roots, 38, needed hospital treatment after being bitten on the leg and arm by a suspected false widow spider as she slept.
And Chloe Harding, 24, spotted two false widows in her home in Tonbridge, Kent, after she was bitten.
Glenda Roots was given antibiotic pills, injected with antibiotics and given a sling for her arm, but the hospital couldn’t be sure it was a false widow bite.
Her husband David Roots said the poison had seeped through her body and inflamed another bite on her leg from a “gnat”.
He added: “It was serious. The blister that came up on her arm was unbelievable.”

Nasty: A wound on the arm of Glenda Roots
Fellow Tonbridge resident Chloe Harding said: “I woke up Thursday (31/7) morning with a bite on my leg which I assumed was a mosquito, but it was large, swollen and made my leg ache all day.
“I spotted a spider - quite unique - by my bed, but didn’t think much of it.
"I went away for the weekend and when I came back on Sunday the same looking spider was now in the kitchen.
“I took a closer look and noticed the skull-like markings on its back and knew it was a false widow .
“I trapped it and left it and by the morning it was dead.
"Then last night I found a slightly larger false widow climb in my bedroom window.
“My landlords said they will investigate to see if there is a nest and remove it.”

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity. Of course, in the movie, their character's are close; it follows the story of a manipulative young woman named Nicola Six (Heard) who strings along three men including a writer named Samson Young (Thornton) in a bid to bring about her own murder.
