Arthropod bites and stings

A 48-year-old man from Viotia, central Greece, who was vacationing in the western Peloponnese, passed away on Thursday afternoon after being admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the General Hospital of Pyrgos, according to state broadcaster ERT.

The man was hospitalized following a severe reaction to an insect bite, which medical experts believe was likely caused by a spider.
