Orlando Andrés Jiménez is suffering severe kidney failure and may lose his eyelids and left ear as a result of the highly toxic bite from the world's most dangerous spider.
The 31-year old student was in the bathroom of his college in Punta de Bombón, a town on the coast of Peru, when a spider fell from the ceiling and bit him on the neck close to his ear.
Chamo became ill within just 30 minutes of being bitten on September 26, local media reports.
He was eventually transferred to a larger hospital but his health deteriorated dramatically as the venom spread throughout his body.
