Country music singer Meghan Linsey was given a tragic shock when a stinging sensation caused her to wake from her sleep and quickly discover a dead spider crumbled in her hand. The Season 8 runner up on NBC’s The Voice had no idea what brutality she would soon encounter, as the spider’s venom would put the star in a world of discomfort and even form a dark hole just below her eye. After months of healing and struggling through the pain, Linsey revealed that her health scare almost robbed the singer of her career!
Sitting down with ET, Linsey admitted that she did, at one point, fear death, speaking about experiences where muscle spasms and slight throat closure made the singer worry for her life. She went on, “The venom didn’t affect my singing at all… which, actually, my one health care doctor was worried about that.” Linsey’s bite has healed nicely, although the singer was adamant about sharing time lapsed photos of the brutal effects from the venom of the brown recluse, one of the deadliest spiders in North America.
As far as scarring, the singer said that she is only two months into her healing process, informing that her doctors suggested waiting six months to a year before judging any of the wound’s appearance. We’re glad that this fighter overcame this obstacle with such strength and determination! Since beginning her healing process, Linsey is ready to put her focus back into her music and continue to surpass expectations!
