A three-month-old baby boy has reportedly died from a spider bite on his hand, Perth Now reports.
Little Lance Ryder was rushed to Geraldton Regional Hospital on Monday after being bitten by a spider.
Lance was transferred to Princess Margaret Hospital but it was too late.
His family have set up a crowdfunding page to help cover the costs of his funeral.
Writing on the site, one relative said Lance was a “little battler”.
“Such a TRAGEDY to hold yr dying son in your arms … suffering from a spider bite on his hand this little battler lost his fight for life some 10 hours later after being flown to Perth by the Royal Flying Doctor.”
The hospital has been contacted for more details.
