The spider bite wasn't all that serious, but his doctor immediately started him on a flush of antibiotics to make sure that he didn't rot a limb off. Well, it turns out that his body took offense at being offered help with fighting off an infection and it went into anaphylactic shock.
Yup, allergies can bite worse than spiders.
Apparently there were some very dopey pics taken of him while he was under powerful narcotics. I'm willing to take up a collection to buy these black market photos in order to post them online as a sort of "this could happen to you" situation. Certainly not to embarrass poor Cipriano, oh no! Anyone wanna pitch in???
