SPIDER ALERT

According to an article by Dr. Beverly Clark, in the Journal of
the United Medical Association (JUMA), the mystery behind a
recent spate of deaths has been solved. If you haven't already
heard about it in the news, here is what happened.

3 women in Chicago, 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. It was discovered, however, that they had
all visited the same restaurant (Big Chappies, at Blare
Airport), 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 small spider. The
spider was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was
determined to be the South American Blush Spider (arachnius
gluteus), 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 Los Angeles 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 New York,
changing planes in Chicago,before returning home. He did not
visit Big Chappies 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 South America. The Civilian Aeronautics Board
(CAB) ordered an immediate inspection of the toilets of all
flights from South America, and discovered the Blush spider's
nests on 4 different planes! It is now beleived 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.
