Toxic Spider Bite Causes Woman to Lose Breast

Skeptics Say MRSA or Other Bacteria Could Have Caused Her Life-Threatening Infection

""I'm doing fine," said Franklin, a 51-year-old divorcee from Hiram, Georgia. "It's really hard for me because I have been an independent lady for so long, and to think this was nearly taken away from me by a spider. That's what scares me -- not losing a breast, but the fact that a spider did me in. I have to learn to do everything all over again."

Franklin, who earns $3,500 a month filling late-night infomercial orders by phone and looks after her two grandchildren on the weekends, has no health insurance. She said she doesn't know how she is going to pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars she expects to owe the hospital for her treatment.

"People have been chipping in and helping, but I don't know how long that will continue," she said."
