Dr. Simon Cotton treated J.R.R. Tolkien when he got bitten by a baboon spider in South Africa. Tolkien developed a fear of Spiders after this incident, which inspired the creation of the character Shelob in "The Lord of the Rings."

When Tolkien was a toddler and living in South Africa he was bitten by a large, venomous spider. Fortunately, one of the family maids was present, and quickly sucked the poison out of his ankle. She proceeded to take him to a gathering place in the POC territory and tell the story to the people she knew.
