Jason Miller, a lamp operator and pipe rigger, reportedly 'endured multiple surgeries each day as doctors do their best to stop the infection and try to save his arm from amputation.'

AceShowbiz - Another crew member of "Rust" was transported to the hospital. Just weeks after Alec Baldwin's accidental shooting, it's reported that Jason Miller, a lamp operator and pipe rigger, was hospitalized for a spider bite.

Sky News reported that Jason was working to shut down the production at Santa Fe, New Mexico, where the shooting happened. Unfortunately, when he was at the location, he got bitten by a brown recluse, a venomous spider that is native to North America.

Several days later, Jason reportedly started experiencing severe symptoms. They included necrosis of his arm, which occurs when cells die, and sepsis.

A fundraising page is set up to cover Jason's medical bills. "He has been hospitalized and endured multiple surgeries each day as doctors do their best to stop the infection and try to save his arm from amputation," so read the note.

"It will be a very long road to recovery for Jason if the medical team is able to save his arm," the message added. "If under worse circumstances he loses his arm, this is a life-changing and devastating event for Jason and his family."

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the "Rust" producers, issued a statement to Sky News. The spokesperson said, "We do not comment on individual members of the cast and crew's private matters."

This arrived after Alec fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured the movie director, Joel Souza, on October 21. The Santa Fe Sheriff's Office continues to investigate Halyna's death. No criminal charges have yet been filed.

However, it was reported that Haylna's husband, Matthew Hutchins, is about to file a wrongful death lawsuit in the wake of the incident. TMZ claimed earlier this month that Matthew has hired a Los Angeles-based firm, Panish Shea Boyle Ravipudi, which specializes in wrongful death cases. He will also put several names as the defendants.
