There Was a Young Woman…
There was a young woman you swallowed a spider…It wiggled and tickled and nearly drowned inside her!
This morning I got a frantic call just after our morning meeting at OrangeSoda, local internet marketing, from Fiona. At first I just heard flustered chattering and hysterics and I thought “Oh no! Something happened to Kaisa!”. When Fiona finally calmed down enough she said, “I am so creeped out right now! I went to take a drink from my water bottle and something went through the straw into my mouth, it was a spider! I threw it on the floor and it was still alive! I had to pick it up and flush it, i almost puked!”
Eating spiders in your sleep is definitely a myth but I wonder how often something like this has happened to a person. It was enough to keep me away from her water bottle today…and probably for the next long while I’ll just get my own water. I don’t know if she cleaned out the straw yet and there are probably little spider footyprints in there…Either that or it went down on it’s back like at a miniature water park slide.
Wheeeee!

Don’t most humans eat 6-8 spiders a year? I think the average goes up for those who sleep with their mouth open.
