Woman Decides To Let Spider Live, Has Instant Regret: 'Never Again'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When Taylor Devaprasad saw a spider in her house, she decided to leave it be. But within hours, that decision left her battling a severe infection in the hospital. "There was a spider that had crawled through my bedroom window," Devaprasad, 29, who lives in Fawn Grove, Pennsylvania, told Newsweek. "And the week prior me and my husband had a conversation about spiders and how important they are in our ecosystem and our household, so I decided to leave it alone." But it was a decision she quickly came to regret. "I then went to bed for the evening, woke up that morning and had the bite mark on my leg," Devaprasad said. "It was about 6 to 8 hours from seeing the spider to noticing the bite. It was just a black looking spider. Looked like a normal house spider." At first, she brushed it off. "When I first noticed it, I didn't do anything about it. I just thought that it was a spider bite and it was fine," she said. But the bite worsened rapidly. "The next day it was a little bit more swollen, a little bit more red. The following day it was even more red, hard to the touch and very sore."

I started with a fever, went to the emergency room," she said. "They then gave me another round of antibiotics, sent me home, and then 24 hours later I went back because at this point I feel like I had the flu. I had a high fever. I could not move my leg. I could not walk." By the time she returned to the ER, her condition had deteriorated. "I was on the verge of passing out. I actually had to be wheeled into the hospital," she said. "It had started to enter my bloodstream and they admitted me and had to do a bunch of different antibiotics because nothing was working." It is still unclear what kind of spider caused the bite, described by Devaprasad as a normal-looking black spider. But Pennsylvania is home to several spiders that could cause a bad bite. The false black widow is black or dark brown and can cause a bite that results in localized pain, redness and swelling. While the Northern black widow can also be found in Pennsylvania. Glossy black with red markings, bites are rare but can result in serious symptoms including muscle cramps, nausea, sweating. A picture of the bite from the spider on Devaprasad's leg.

Painful but not dangerous, their bites can also cause localized swelling and itching. Thankfully, Devaprasad is now recovering. "I don't require any more treatment as of right now, but the area is still tender and discolored," she said. "But besides that I'm doing great." After the incident, she shared her spider bite story on TikTok in a video with more than 16 million views since being posted in May. She said: "This is what happens when I decide to let the spider live. Never again." In the caption she added: "Just ur reminder to not let the spider live next time you see one in your house." In the comments people shared their reactions. "This happened to me and I almost lost my leg," said viewer sydeneyhi. While demonbby wrote: "I have never let a spider in my house live." "I think my arachnophobia is valid," said LeanneRoberts. Now Devaprasad is pleased that her story is helping raise awareness for others. "I personally never knew the dangers of what a spider bite can turn into, and I'm definitely shocked that the video has gone viral at this point, especially since it was posted over a month ago," she said.

Americans Are Using AI To Diagnose Their Health Issues
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Both clinicians and patients are using artificial intelligence more and more to help diagnose illness and injuries, but many in the health care industry see the technology's adoption as a double-edged sword. A new study of over 2,000 medical professionals found that the adoption of generative AI tools is becoming far more prevalent in health care, but that misinformation about conditions and diagnoses was also impacting patients. Why It Matters In 2024, the global health care AI market was estimated at more than $26 billion, and it's expected to grow to over $187 billion by 2030. Rapid developments in the abilities of generative AIs such as ChatGPT mean that health care professionals have more AI-powered tools than ever before to help them with their work, but the same is also true for their patients. What To Know According to Elsevier's Clinician of the Future 2025 survey, 28 percent of clinicians said they did not have enough time to deliver quality care to each patient, with 69 percent now seeing more patients than two years ago and nearly half (47 percent) admitting that fatigue has impaired their care delivery. The survey, which was conducted with 1,781 doctors and 425 nurses from across the world, revealed that as the ability of clinicians to spend time with patients diminishes, patients have begun turning to AI-powered chatbots and generalist diagnostic tools to seek answers for their health concerns. Fifty-one percent of health care professionals said that most patients will self-diagnose with AI tools available online rather than see a clinician in 2-3 years' time. However, this coincides with growing fears in the industry that false information and misdiagnosis are making doctors have to work harder. Photo-illustration by Newsweek/Getty/Canva Seventy-four percent of U.S. clinicians who responded say that medical misinformation is hindering patient compliance with recommended treatments, while 53 percent report spending appointment time to correct patient misconceptions based on false or misleading health information. Additionally, professionals are not keeping up with the rate at which patients are using AI. Although 95 percent of clinicians in the Elsevier survey saw benefits in using generative AI to assist with clinical activities, only 16 percent said they currently use AI in direct decision-making. An additional 48 percent expressed a desire to further incorporate AI tools into their clinical determinations. Only 32 percent of surveyed clinicians felt their institution provided adequate access to AI technologies, and only 30 percent said they had received sufficient training in their use. Patients seeking to self-diagnose often have access only to public, general-purpose AI chatbots, which may lack clinical oversight and up-to-date scientific training. Despite these limitations, the accuracy achieved by AI platforms in recent studies has driven further patient engagement with these tools. Seventy-five percent of clinicians highlighted the need for factual accuracy from AI in clinical contexts. What People Are Saying Jan Herzhoff, president of Elsevier Health, said in a statement given to Newsweek: "As the health care industry grapples with increased demands and limited resources, clinicians have identified numerous ways AI can enhance care quality and patient outcomes faster. "This is a transformative period, and we aim to collaborate with the health care community to harness the full potential of AI for patients." What Happens Next As AI tools become more widely available, health care organizations are expected to further invest in their integration, as well as in governance and clinician training.

World's Largest Power Station Could Provide Energy for Half of US Homes
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Grand Inga Hydropower Project is moving forward after years of delays in a bid to solve southern Africa's electricity and water scarcity. Delivery of the project, which would be the largest power station in the world if completed, was accelerated after officials convened in Zimbabwe on July 3. Newsweek contacted the organization responsible for the delivery, the Southern African Development Community (SADC), for more information on the progress via email. Why It Matters The Grand Inga Hydropower Project, with a potential capacity of up to 70 gigawatts, is designed as the centerpiece of Africa's Mission 300 initiative, which seeks to connect 300 million Africans to clean energy by 2030. The average household in the U.S. uses just under 11,000 kilowatt-hours a year, meaning that if Grand Inga reaches its projected scale, it could generate enough electricity to power nearly half of all homes in the U.S., though it will be used solely for homes in Africa. What To Know The Grand Inga Dam in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) would be a series of seven hydroelectric power stations at Inga Falls in the Congo River. SADC ministers responsible for energy and water agreed to push forward with the Grand Inga Hydropower Plan and the Congo River Water Transfer Concept at a meeting in Harare, Zimbabwe, on July 3. On June 3, the World Bank Board of Executive Directors approved a $250 million creditas the first phase of a previously announced $1 billion long-term commitment to support preparation and local development efforts for Inga 3, DRC's largest power project to date. The Inga electricity production site along the Congo River on December 16, 2013. The Inga electricity production site along the Congo River on December 16, 2013. Getty Images Constructed in the 1970s and 1980s, the Inga I and II provided a foundation, yet both function at about 80 percent capacity. Grand Inga, which would be the third structure at the site, has attracted multiple rounds of international interest, but progress has repeatedly stalled because of high costs, governance concerns and the withdrawal of major partners, such as China's state-owned Three Gorges Corporation. The projected $80 billion cost of completing the Grand Inga plan remains a huge barrier for the DRC, which is one of the world's poorest countries. South Africa, Nigeria, Guinea and Angola have expressed formal interest in purchasing power from Grand Inga, tying the project to transnational energy security. The Grand Inga initiative is part of the Mission 300 program, which aims to supply electricity to 300 million Africans by 2030. World Bank President Ajay Banga called the wider project "a crucial component" for economic growth and development across the continent and predicted that it could draw as much as $85 billion in private investment. What People Are Saying Bob Mabiala, head of the ADPI-DRC, told the World Bank on June 3: "The electricity generation potential at the Inga site is one of the largest in the world. The development of Inga 3's hydropower will be transformative for DRC. By increasing access to clean, renewable, and affordable energy for Congolese households and industries, it will serve as a motor for inclusive growth and jobs." Albert Zeufack, World Bank division director, in a press release on June 3: "By supporting DRC's vision for Inga through this program and complementary investments in governance, education, and infrastructure, the World Bank Group, together with partners, can significantly contribute to converting DRC's natural resources into economic growth, jobs, and human development for the Congolese people." What Happens Next SADC ministers are expected to present progress updates on the Grand Inga and Congo River Water Transfer initiatives at the next SADC Council of Ministers meeting in Madagascar, scheduled for August.
