Kansas mom fights for transplant after suspected brown recluse bite near Cheney Lake
A Kansas mother, Britagne Miller, faced a life-threatening medical crisis after a spider bite at Cheney Lake, with doctors initially treating blood clots and liver complications that were described as end-stage liver failure. After weeks of surgeries and infections, she was discharged home and is now trying to become eligible for a liver transplant, while her family has launched a GoFundMe to cover medical and daily expenses. The case underscores the risks from venomous spiders in Kansas (brown recluse and black widow) and highlights the financial and health toll on affected families.
