    A single mom of three has been left with horrific injuries — with her face swollen and her skin feeling “on fire” — after being attacked in her Georgia home by a cluster of highly venomous spiders.

    Jessica Rogue, 44, told AtlantaNewsFirst that she encountered several brown recluse spiders on July 1 while cleaning out a shed outside her home in Atlanta.

    “I was just in there sweeping, I immediately felt something on my face next to my eye. I felt I got bit,” she said.

    According to WSAZ , Rogue said the brown recluse spiders bit her in multiple places, including her face.

    “There were spiders on me. Where I was, it was a really messy web, and I was trying to clean that up,” she said.

    Less than 24 hours later, Rogue was rushed to a hospital when her face, arms and throat swelled up and she was covered in rashes. A bite from a brown recluse spider can be deadly.

    “My eye is what I’m really worried about. My eye is, I’m having a lot of pain. I just don’t know what’s going to happen with my eye,” she told the local news outlet while wearing an eyepatch.

    A GoFundMe to help Rogue with medical costs has collected $2,360.

    “She has numbness and loss of mobility in her hand and foot (still unsure if it’s temporary or permanent yet) and her skin is on fire,” fundraiser organizer Morgan Underwood wrote.

    “She’s unable to work has three beautiful daughters and still at the hospital.”

    In a July 5 update, Underwood said Rogue was recovering, noting that while “the swelling on her face has gone down a great deal,” it is “now covered in an itchy, painful rash.

    “Her arms, neck and chest are also covered in an itchy, painful rash, and the areas where she was bitten are blistered up, so we’re keeping an eye on that,” the update said.
