But a biologist said that wolf spiders cannot lay their eggs in human bodies.

Dr Sarah Godacre of the University of Nottingham told the BBC: ‘I don’t understand how that could be true because I know about their biology.

He added that there are no reports suggesting that eggs can remain in a ‘pus-infected wound’.
