MANTECA, Calif. (CBS13) ― "He has been confined to a wheelchair for 20 years. Now a paraplegic man is walking again, and his doctors call it a miracle. CBS13 went to Manteca to find out how a spider bite helped get him back on his feet.

"I closed my eyes and then I was spinning like a flying saucer," explains David Blancarte.

A motorcycle accident almost killed David 21 years ago. At the time he might have wished he was dead.

"I asked my doctor, 'Sir what happened? I can't feel my legs'," said David.

Ever since, David's been relying on his wheelchair to get around. Then the spider bite. A Brown Recluse sent him to the hospital, then to rehab for eight months.

"I'm here for a spider bite. I didn't know I would end up walking," says David.

A nurse noticed David's leg spasm and ran a test on him.

"When they zapped my legs, I felt the current, I was like 'whoa' and I yelled," he says.

He felt the current and the rush of a renewed sense of hope.

"She says,'your nerves are alive. They're just asleep'," explained David.

Five days later David was walking.

"I was walking on the bar back and forth," he said.

Now David is out of the hospital and on his feet and walking...."

It's good he can walk again to offset the 700lb weight gain that these bites cause.

whatever? which means the guy never needed to spend 21 years in a wheel chair.

the spider didnt cure him.. it simply sent him to the doctor.. who discovered this moron could walk the whole time.
You're kind of grumpy today, you coming down from a 3 day binge?

The wait seemed like forever.

Blancarte's dreams may have to wait. He was arrested Friday (3/13) on an outstanding warrant stemming from a domestic abuse case.

Maybe he should have stayed paralyzed.  At least then he wouldn't feel it getting raped in prison.

Isn't this the same type of spider that bit Onlyme and fucked up his life?

I got bit by a brown recluse in 2003 and almost lost my right hand.  They are some bad ass spiders.

I wonder if this means Onlyme is immune to ever being a quadriplegic?

With a possible side effect being the chance of turning into Onlyme, I'd choose to continue life as a paraplegic.  ;D
