woken up with a spider in their mouth? sounds stupid i know, but i have always wondered because you hear that theres a statistic that everyone swallows around 8 spiders in their lifetime during sleep i think, so i wondered if this had happened to anyone?

I can see me suffering insomnia, I have never had a spide rin or near my mouth, but certainly on my bed on a few occasions. they like damp conditions, so the inside of some poor souls mouth would be perfect!

Yeah, yeah - we're all going to be CHOKING on whole mouthfuls of spiders. It's all true.

what about in countries where there are poisonous ones then? wouldn't the death rate be slightly higher? and surely reported...

"man swallows eighth 'black widow' and dies" although i guess it would only take one.... ;-)
