TL;DR Summary

Colin Blake, a man from Cramlington, Northumberland, claims that a wolf spider laid eggs in his toe while he was on holiday in France. After his toe turned purple and became infected, medical staff cut it open and a milk-like pus came out, allegedly containing spider eggs. However, experts have disputed this claim, stating that wolf spiders are incapable of laying eggs inside humans and that there is no European wolf spider that could penetrate the skin. Mr. Blake received treatment and is expected to make a full recovery.
