Dangerous Spider Bite






Before you read!!!!!!
See the pictures after brown recluse bite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*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. **I**t 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
inSingapore, before returning home He did not visit (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
(Telamonia dimidiata) 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.*
