"Hospital today, show tomorrow, poisonous spiders are NO BUENO 🕷️🕷️but the show must go on, see you tomorrow Mexico City!" she captioned one post on Instagram.
In the snap her leg was red, with blotchy patches all around the bite.
"Superhero origin story," commented one fan.

"So it wouldn't be an AC/DC tour if I didn't get bit…" she captioned the video.
"This time a massive spider decided to take a chunk out of me and its venom did a number on my system so had to have the wonderful doctors in Mexico come and deliver quite the shot before the show last night…
"Add it to the list! Spider woman? Batgirl? 🕷️🕷️🕷️🦇🦇🦇 WTF."
