New Poisonous Spider In The Us!

Two-Striped Ass-Biter would be a much cooler name for the species.

or North American Perv Spider

Or just Toilet Spiders
 
GEEZ thanks Borax, Why would I have heard this on the news then?

Not too sure but they might have been talking about the hoax starting again or they got sucked in too
 
Still trying to figure out why I heard this on the news. They don't do pranks.
 
MODs if you will....please delete. thanks.
 
A spider bite...please read...........

And you thought the brown recluse was bad!!!

Three women in North Florida, turned up at hospitals over a 5-day period, all with the same symptoms. Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by muscular collapse, paralysis, and finally, death.

There were no outward signs of trauma. Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood.

These women did not know each other, and seemed to have nothing in common.

It was discovered, however, that they had all visited the same restaurant (Olive Garden) within days of their deaths. The health department descended on the restaurant, shutting it down. The food, water, and air conditioning were all inspected and tested, to no avail.

The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was rushed to the hospital with similar symptoms. She told doctors that she had been on vacation, and had only went to the restaurant to pick up her check.

She did not eat or drink while she was there, but had used the restroom.

That is when one toxicologist, remembering an article he had read, drove out to the restaurant, went into the restroom, and lifted the toilet seat.. Under the seat, out of normal view, was a small spider.

The spider was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was determined to be the Two-Striped Telamonia (Telamonia dimidiata ), so named because of its reddened flesh color. This spider's venom is extremely toxic, but can take several days to take effect. They live in cold, dark, damp climates, and toilet rims provide just the right atmosphere.

Several days later a lawyer from Jacksonville showed up at a hospital
emergency room. Before his death, he told the doctor, that he had been
away on business, had taken a flight from Indonesia, changing planes in
Singapore, before returning home. He did not visit the Olive Garden
while there. He did, as did all of the other victims, have what was determined to be a puncture wound, on his right buttock.

Investigators discovered that the flight he was on had originated in India.
The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an immediate inspection of
the toilets of all flights from India, and discovered the Two-Striped Telamonia spider's nests on 4 different planes!

It is now believed that these spiders can be anywhere in the country.

So please, before you use a public toilet, lift the seat to check for spiders. It can save your life!

And please pass this on to everyone you care about.
wowza, deadly spiders on the loose!
 
the big question is.......how did the deadly spider get to us??? the description sounds like it's from a jungle......did someone ship it in as a terrorsit attack?

Strange thing is... I didn't even see your Snopes comment before I posted the link :woot:

:up: it just kind of had that 'snopes' fake reenactment vibe to it . . . :D
 
Oh dammit I feel like it's crawling on me!!! :csad:

Do you ever get that feeling?

all of a sudden I'm picturing watching the movie Arachnaphobia in my living room with my best friend and the BIG spider jumps, and my best friend jumps litterally OFF the couch and falls on the floor.
 
That movie scared the s**t outta me when I saw it.

I don't have hardcore Arachnaphobia, but when it comes to the big f**king spiders like the bird eater or the wolf spider then I get a little nervous.

But I can handle things like the opening of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the spider from "Spider-Man."

Well my bud's toes were curled so tightly in his Tennis shoes, that it looked like the shoes would burst open through most of the movie.

Oil well drillers were drilling in Kansas. They heard a loud roar from the well, sent a microphone down it, and got real, actual recordings of countless sould be tormented in a literal, molten Hell at the center of the Earth.

When they pulled the microphone up, a family of these spiders had stowed away on it, and they built a new life in America.
 
in any case, always use the ass-to-air method in public bathrooms.:up:
 
Wtf? What's the spider look like?
