Katipo bite makes Medical Journal
THE story of a katipo spider bite on the leg of an ocean kayaker at Mahia in February last year is reported in the latest issue of the NZ Medical Journal.
The venomous bite resulted in an early-morning emergency rescue after Jaime Sharp, 29, of Hastings was bitten while resting from big seas at Pukenui Beach near Mahanga.
Mr Sharp was midway through an ocean paddle down the East Coast of the North Island.
He spent two nights in Wairoa Hospital, where he was treated with an antidote to the katipo venom.
Doctors Lucinda Thatcher and Ron Janes, of Wairoa Hospital, said in the journal it was only the second reported katipo bite since 1951.
They cited a review that year in the journal by R.W. Hornabrook, which found that before then, 22 cases of katipo spider bites had been reported, including two deaths.
But at least he didn’t suffer the fate of the only other recorded katipo victim of the last 60 years — a Northland skinny dipper who was nipped on the penis by the venomous native, which had apparently nestled in the man’s pants left lying in the sand dunes.
The Canadian tourist suffered heart inflammation and spent 16 days in hospital before coming right.
He took a nap in the dunes and woke to find his penis “swollen and painful”, the New Zealand Medical Journal reported in 2010.
One of the doctors in that case told the New Zealand Herald at the time: “It was a rather nasty, ill-placed bite.”
