************Spoiler*********** A chef was bitten by an extremley dangerous spider. The syptoms swelling etc appeared in seconds. Quick thinking, he took a picture of the spider and passed it onto the medical authorities to identify it. They were able to determine the appropriate remedy. The details can be found below:- http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1179804,00.html Thanks to Sam for cracking this. The title "Flash" was also a clue - i.e camera flash !!! |
