A woman from the United Kingdom will be staying away from bananas for a little while now, afer recently discovering that a banana that she was eating served as a nest for hundreds of tiny baby spiders--that all started to hatch as she took a bite.
Consi Taylor, 29, mother of two, bought the bananas at a local Sainsbury's supermarket, and had been happily eating one when she discovered what she first thought to be a patch of white mold on the banana.
However, upon closer inspection, she found that the mold had several tiny black dots in it and was horrified to discover that it was a coccoon full of baby spiders.
Soon they started hatching and escaped all over Consi's table and carpet. Pest Control later said that the banana spiders were ccalled Brazilian Wandering Spiders--also known as the deadliest spider in the world. "The Brazilian Wandering Spider is venomous and should be considered dangerous. We have to take huge care and diligence."
Deadly spiders found on supermarket bananas are not a rare occurrence. The Brazilian Wandering Spider, ranked by the Guiness' Book of Records as the deadlest spider in the world, is also known to make its home in banana trees, therefore making the deadly spiders discovered on supermarket bananas shipped from South America to the world. It is also known as the Banana Spider.
Sainsbury's supermarket has issued a public apology for Consi's situation of finding deadly spiders in supermarket bananas, and have paid for her home to be fumigated. The supermarket has also paid to move Consi's family into a hotel for the time being.
In 2011, a banana spider, or a deadly Brazilian Wandering Spider, was found in a supermarket in Germany, prompting the entire store to be evacuated as the deadly spider was recovered. The bite of a Brazilian Wandering Spider contains neurotoxins that attack the nervous system, causing loss of muscle control and causing the heart and lungs to shut down.
