Deadly Spider With Venom That Can Also Cause Painful Erection Found in Store's Banana

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Deadly Spider With Venom That Can Also Cause Painful Erection Found in Store's Banana

Posted: 3/13/2015 3:02:57 PM EDT

" A British woman got a little more than she paid for when she found the world's most venomous spider hitching a ride on bananas that she bought at the grocery store, according to local reports.

After shopping at a Tesco grocery story, Maria Layton said she found a web with eggs from a Brazilian wandering spider hiding out in the bananas, according to The Telegraph.

The critter is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's most venomous spider, with a neurotoxin so deadly it takes just 0.00000021 ounces to kill a mouse. The spider's venom made headlines in 2007, when scientists started to research if the venom could treat impotence, according to the BBC. "

" a painful erection " . OK, guess we can all assume that would be a males cross to carry .

I was taking a lunch break in Cambridge, MA a couple of years ago and a very excited construction worker started calling me over..."You gotta see this, you gotta see this!". I walk over and he opens his bag of grapes, still in the grocery store plastic bag, and see a huge Black Widow spider. I'd seen plenty of Black Widows in Arkansas, we'd catch them under the barracks and keep them in terrariums....but this thing was HUGE!

We don't have Black Widows, or much of anything that's lethally poisonous in New England so you can imagine how shocking it was to everybody walking by. We have rattlesnakes but they're rare to see. Ticks and Lyme Disease are the big danger. NOT black widows.

Back on topic, when I first moved to Los Angeles I was surprised by how laid back newscasters were here. Back in Boston they were very formal. Here in CA, despite the nightly 30 minute recital of who got killed in what neighborhood, they'd laugh and joke around. One day they had three female newscasters reporting somebody had broken into a lab in Australia and stolen and ingested enough of an ED drug to give the thief a four day erection.

One reporter says, "My husband's been out to town for a week, he's gonna need that because we have a lot of catching up to do". The second reporter says, "No thanks, I can't get my husband to put his away and he's always ready to go", and the third just looked wide-eyed and, "Can you imagine how much fun that would be?"

I almost fell to the floor I was laughing so hard.

This actually happens fairly often, but you just don't hear about it. It happened here in WI a couple of years ago, and made the local news. Finding their eggs in bananas is probably more common. They are a fairly aggressive species, too, not more timid like a tarantula. And the way that they stick their front legs up when threatened is pretty unique, and helps to make them fairly easy to identify. I dated a Brazilian woman for a while, and she said that while fairly common out in the wild, she almost never saw them in the city. So we should probably burn down all the Brazilian forests, just to make the world a safer place.

Black Widows in CA are about as common as mosquitoes here in WI. I remember one time that we were cleaning up at Edson Range, and I flipped a bench over, for some reason. There was a pair of widows under it, which I promptly squished. So I started checking other benches, and every single bench had widows under it. People were sitting on them all the time. So I guess if you leave them alone, it's true that they usually leave you alone. But one time I was standing guard outside the armory (at night), and I saw something shiny crawling across the pavement towards me. So I moved a few feet away, and it changed course (towards me). I did this a couple of times, and it kept changing course towards me. Yep, it was a big black widow. I don't know what she wanted with me, but she met the bottom of my size 13.
