Man twice bitten on the penis by a redback spider

A 21-YEAR-OLD tradie has been branded “the unluckiest man in the world” after he was bitten on the penis by a spider for a second time.

The apprentice, known only as Jordan, was bitten on his old fella by a redback spider on a worksite in Sydney’s south back in April.

Yesterday, almost five months later exactly, his tackle was bitten again in a portaloo on a worksite.

“This is the first time I’ve used one [portaloo] since then,” Jordan revealed to Kyle and Jackie O on KIIS FM this morning.

The tradie claims he did try to check the toilet seat before he sat down to use it but didn’t notice the spider.

“It just got freshly cleaned out and it had this little crevasse underneath the actual bowl so I couldn’t lift it up to check,” he said, “I thought I was safe and then obviously not”.

Jordan said the spider bit him in “pretty much the same spot” as last time, although he’s not sure what type of spider it was on this occasion.

“What do you think it is about your penis that makes is so attractive and delicious to spiders?” Kyle asked.

“I asked you this last time ... did you kick the toilet door open and yell out to the any of the guys on the worksite that you needed someone to come and suck the poison out?” Kyle asked.

“No,” Jordan said laughingly, “I did walk out this time and I tried to get someone over to have a look but by the time they got there the spider had retracted back into the hole”.

The young tradie went to the hospital and told the KIIS FM duo that the staff found it rather amusing.

“Everyone was laughing, calling me the unluckiest man in Australia,” he said.

And apparently when it comes to being bitten on the penis, it’s a case of once bitten, twice as painful.

“This is one is a bit sorer,” Jordan said, “it seems like it got a better shot at it this time”.

“It’s redder, a bit more swollen, it hurts a bit more. I got tetanus and antivenom yesterday.”

The tradie was released from hospital last night and will return to work tomorrow once the swelling has gone down.

“What are you going to do the next time you need to go to the toilet?” Jackie O asked, before Kyle offered Jordan a word of advice.

“Just sh*t on the ground from now on, that’s what I’d do,” the radio star said.
