When a member of the Rust crew closed the set of this ill-fated Western movie, he might lose his arm after being bitten by a spider and was hospitalized. According to reports, electric light operator and plumbing assembler Jason Miller was bitten by a brown recluse spider on a set in New Mexico, where a gun accident occurred on October 21, resulting in the death of photographer Halina Hutchins After closing indefinitely. According to GoFundMe, which was set up in his name, Miller was hospitalized with "arm necrosis and sepsis" a few days after being bitten. A fundraiser that raised more than $10,000 on Tuesday said that Miller “has undergoing multiple operations every day because the doctors do their best to prevent the infection and try to save his arm from amputation.”

TMZ shared pictures of open wounds and reported that Miller’s family is planning to sue workers’ compensation. Earlier this week, when Sky News contacted the producer of Rust for comment, he said: "We do not comment on the personal affairs of the actors and staff."
