Narrative

Employee was operating the hammer. He noticed several spiders on the hammer and killed them. Apparently one of the spiders crawled up his pants leg and bit him on the thigh. By the 6th his leg had swollen and puss had formed. He went to the Medical Center where the bite was lanced and packed. Not sure what kind of spider it was. He is still undergoing treatment
