Venomous spider freaks out male workers at market
A box of bananas lost appeal (ZING!) after a Scottish supermarket worker saw a venomous -- but appropriately named -- South American banana spider with its legs \"curled around a banana.\" BBC News reports that another shop worker, Petra Merriman, caught the spider in a plastic jar after her male co-workers all had arachnophobic freakouts. \"All the boys were running around like headless chickens,\" she said. A representative from Edinburgh Butterfly and Insect World says the spider is not deadly, but a bite could cause \"pain, swelling, muscle spasms and flu-like symptoms which could be very unpleasant.\" We'll keep our distance.
Are you afraid of spiders?
