44-year-old Jon Gosselin, an American television personality, was hospitalized with a swollen leg and an "excruciating" pain due to a venomous brown recluse spider bite. These species of spiders can destroy cell membranes, leading to a breakdown of skin and blood vessels, and are commonly found in central and southern parts of the US.
According to various reports, Gosselin's net worth is estimated to be around $100 thousand. While some reports have quoted his net worth to be $50 thousand.
Jon Gosselin is known for his role in the reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," appearing in 104 episodes and reportedly making around $22,500. He is also the co-author of the New York Times Best Seller "Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets," launched in 2008.
Jon Gosselin gets bitten by recluse spider
Jon Gosselin's leg swelled up twice the usual size when he had to rush to get medical help after he was bitten by a recluse spider as he was sleeping in Reading, Pennsylvania.
As per Jon's exclusive interview with Sun Online, he was DJ-ing for the weekend in Philadelphia when he finally felt free, he added:
"It was my first real single weekend. I was totally ready to open up and meet new people and start fresh, but I woke after a night of music and fun and went to stand up only to fall back down on the bed. I was in excruciating pain. My first thought was 'What now?' I have had a rough year, my breakup was hard, then I got Covid which was bad."
Jon further described what happened when he woke up:
"It was really weird because when I looked at my leg I realized it was twice the size and there's a red-looking blister with a large red circle around it, it kind of looked like a cigarette burn, but really raised."
Jon had called an exterminator to make sure the spider was gone after his daughter, Hannah, got scared. He added:
"I just wish I knew where the spider was so I could take my revenge."
Jon Gosselin recalled as he told 'The Sun' about his traumatic experience in the hospital after he was tested positive for COVID-19:
"I went through days of severe pain and now the antibiotic is so strong it's made me ill. I'm losing pounds again."
Luckily Jon confirmed that he is finally healing, the swelling has reduced, and the pain is just where the bite was.
