A Brentwood, Tenn. woman who was recently treated for a brown recluse spider bite later found dozens more in her apartment, she claims.
Angela Wright was rushed to the hospital, unable to walk and hallucinating, after she was bitten by a brown recluse spider in her apartment, WSMV-TV reported.
"I couldn't walk, I couldn't move and I could barely swallow," Wright told the news station, adding that doctors told her that she could have suffered a stroke had she waited to go to the emergency room.

After telling her apartment complex about the incident, Wright said a pest control service came to spray her home. However, Wright told WSMT-TV she later found spiders “left and right.”
