    I posted this in the lounge too, but this is probably a more accurate place for it. Either way, amazing.

    A paraplegic man is bitten by a spider, which somehow ended up reviving the nerves in his legs. He started walking again after 21 years in a wheelchair!

    I just hope this is true. It almost seems too good to be.

    Original link tied, but I found another:

    Wow.

    All I got is this obvious, yet cheezy, yet obvious clip

    For a second I thought this might be a case of fighting fire with fire. Like an arachnia/homeopathy thing (arachniopathy? :lol:). But the brown recluse's venom is not a neurotoxin like say, a black widow's. Its a necrotoxin attacking skin and muscle. This is an interesting one.
