An Australian man has been bitten by a venomous spider on the penis for a second time.

According to BBC, incident happened while the 21-year-old tradesman was using a portable toilet on a Sydney building site.

The man told the publication that the spider bit him on "pretty much the same spot" as before.

"I'm the most unlucky guy in the country at the moment," he told the BBC.

"I was sitting on the toilet doing my business and just felt the sting that I felt the first time.

"I was like 'I can't believe it's happened again.' I looked down and I've seen a few little legs come from around the rim."

He said that being bitten the first time had made him wary of using portable toilets but on that day he felt it was safe as the toilets had just been cleaned.

A workmate rushed him to hospital.
