## Summary

Walton Goggins was bitten repeatedly by a poisonous spider on the morning of his first day working on the television adaptation of Fallout. Despite the bites, he continued to the set for a makeup test, where the prosthetic nose for his character came loose as he sweated through a fever.

The incident happened in 2022, after Goggins returned to Los Angeles from New York feeling jet-lagged. He found a brown recluse spider on his inner thigh and later learnt at a medical facility that it had bitten him five times; after receiving an injection, he spent five hours in makeup as artists prepared his character, known as the Ghoul.
