The average human will eat EIGHT spiders in their lifetime! (56k go away)

Ok so ive seen on several internet sources and heard by earthat the average human will eat 8 spiders in their lifetime

IN YOUR SLEEP. they crawl into our mouths as we dream the night away.....

and for those of you who life in south america or africa, you probably will eat a TARANTULA OR TWO IN YOUR LIFETIME!

MMMMM DAMN THAT LOOKS TASTY.

so what is OT'sthoughts on this disturbing fact?

I'm pretty sure I don't eat spiders in my sleep.

You just grossed me out. D:

Now I don't feel like eating mah cookies. :[

eat 8 spiders willingly or by mistake?Mkavanaugh77

by mistake, since its inyour sleep

unless your dreaming about eating spiders....in which case i guess its a dream come true :P

Well that's a relief. I had heard that it was three or four every year.megagene

dude i heard from a few people it was up to 12 a year! but i just said the one i heard the most of which is 8. i be some people do eat that many though...

I remember hearing that humans accidently eat spiders (house spiders)during our sleep. They crawl in our mouths apparently. :|

um wow?

I'll save this thread from exploding and just say it's confirmed not trueToriko42

i read this & then looked at youravatar and i burst out laughing :lol:

I've heard that statistic before, but I don't understand how they would successfully come up with that number..

That's just an urban legend. How could you even think that it's possible to eat tarantuals in your sleep? They're pretty big, I'd think you'd notice if one managed to pry your mouth open and walk inside.

NOMNOM! there rich in protein!

My thoughts are that it is false.

Hasn't this been debunked already?

My thoughts are that it is false.

i dont know whether to hug you or punch you....

this is just a myth.

I think the numbers inflated from cultures that eat spiders on the regular.

I dont belive this

Yumm, I love crunchy spiders :P

yeah, but they wouldn't be THAT big.

OT - Giving people nightmares since 1946.

They are so tasty!!!

I'm pretty sure this myth originated from a Snapple bottle's cap.roosuu

I'm guessing I'm the only one who snacks on spiders in their spare time?

I've always called bull on that "fact". I find it hard to believe that someone observed enough people for their entire lives to get a worldwide average of how many spiders they ate. Which means it could only be made up.Gallion-Beast

Actually it's 8 a year.

I thought that everyone knew this statistic was fake already...

I'm pretty sure I don't eat spiders in my sleep.

No offense but you kind of creeped me out.

Also it is not true, you will hae to buy them if you want to eat spiders.

I find that fact hard to believe. How would anybody find this out, or study this?

I'm pretty sure I don't eat spiders in my sleep.

I don't believe that! :x
