Spider Bite That Causes Attention In Man ;D by jude33084(m): 10:18pm On Aug 04, 2014
It is called the most deadly spider,...the Brazilian wandering spiders.

Facts about them;

Their Greek name Phoneutria actually means "murderess" - an indication of their deadly bite.

They are known as the wandering spider because they do not build webs, but instead walk the jungle floor at night looking for prey.

The spiders are nocturnal, and so find places to hide during the day.

4. When the spiders are defending themselves, they lift their body up on their hind legs in a defensive display.

The first two pairs of legs are lifted high in the air, while the spider sways from side to side.

5. The Brazilian wandering spider appears in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's most venomous spider.

Guinness World Records says that while the spider is the most toxic, an effective antivenom is available and few fatalities occur.

6. If you are bitten, chances are nothing bad will happen.  Out of 7,000 cases, only 10 people died from its bite.

The spider only inject venom in approximately one-third of bites, and even then it's usually only a small quantity,......

Well don't let that cool you off wink

The spider's bite can cause an unwanted erection in men, sometimes lasting for four hours.

Scientists are hoping they can use the spider's venom in erectile dysfunction medication.


So instead of buying shewing sticks, you can just keep one for biting anytime to want to em em undecided
