Hopefully the freezer was transported to a safe place...

A British couple made a shocking discovery a few days ago after buying bananas from their local grocery store.
The bananas were infested with spiders. And not just any spiders.
When a Brazilian Wandering Spider bites a man, its venom can cause a painful four-hour ****, and can even lead to death.
The woman who bought the bananas recognized the spider cocoon and put the bananas into her freezer to kill all the spiders.
“When a Brazilian Wandering Spider bites a man, its venom can cause a painful four-hour erection”
Are drug companies paying attention?
ACA covers spiders?
A painful four-hour WHAT?
This Spider bite and it’s “effects” sounds like something Quentin Tarantino would add to one of his next psycho type flicks...
Is that like “death by unga bunga”?
“ACA covers spiders?”
Only the ones prescribed by doctors. Have to go through the proper channels.
That lady kept a cool head under pressure. The impulse for many upon seeing spiders all nested in the banana box would be to drop the box on the floor and try to sweep it out of the room. Dropping and sweeping the box would only activate the insects. I figured correctly that the writer was using **** to indicate the word erections. Never buy fruit at that store ever again!!
Exactly like that
What happens when the spider bites a woman?
Mrs. Drill: "I don't see a downside."
The patriarchy only makes spiders that help men.
Probably. There’s a lot of research into venoms and their potential benefits c.f. botox. This area in particular (erectile dysfunction) is ideal for moneymaking, but someone’s gotta write the grant proposal. What will really make someone a fortune is discovering the chemical key that lets men keep their hair. Most of the other things men care about have been solved to some degree, but hair loss is still only “fixable” with temporary solutions or surgery.
Climbs up the water spout, eh? Thanks nickcarraway.
How did the spiders taste?
I hear there's an interesting side effect if you mix Viagra with Rogaine. It makes your hair stand on end.
Webby, but with a hint of chicken.

I only eat free range fly-fed spiders. Corn fed spiders taste terrible.
From Wiki:
Aside from causing intense pain, the venom of the spider can also cause priapism in humans. Erections resulting from the bite are uncomfortable, can last for many hours and can lead to impotence. A component of the venom (Tx2-6) is being studied for use in erectile dysfunction treatments.
