“When a Brazilian Wandering Spider bites a man, its venom can cause a painful four-hour erection”

Are drug companies paying attention?

This Spider bite and it’s “effects” sounds like something Quentin Tarantino would add to one of his next psycho type flicks...

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!!

The woman who bought the bananas recognized the spider cocoon and put the bananas into her freezer to kill all the spiders.

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

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.

A man would look pretty funny when the paramedics wheel him out of his house on a gurney because he is DEAD but still sporting a tent, and then they can’t get the coffin lid closed when they bury the poor guy!

Now you know where Viagra comes from.

Those looking for cheap drugs can harvest these critters for personal use.

Must be discreet, otherwise will deter wife. Can you imagine “Hey, honey, watch this!”....

I normally don’t tip for counter service, but if I ever decide to buy Viagra I might salute.

Instead of calling a doctor, some people with a four hour erection will call a prostitute.

Venom looks to be about 20 times as potent as Black Widow venom.

Happened in Tulsa last month at Whole Foods. Bet that put a damper on their produce sales.

I’ll take my produce with insecticides, thanks. What I can’t wash off won’t bother me that much and it certainly won’t kill me in an hour.
