I never knew if it was true that you at least swallow eight spiders in your life time while sleeping. But I found out today, while browsing the internet that is a myth!!!! But you do eat about 4 whole spiders in your food, which isn't a myth! Look it up if you don't believe me.

I have heard this urban legend as well and am VERY happy to hear that it is indeed a myth! The thought of swallowing spiders or any insect for that matter while we sleep is horrifying! But now it is confirmed that I WILL eat four spiders in my food?? God help me! At least if I did it while asleep I would not have any chance of being aware of it! Given my age today I assumed I would have eaten about three spiders already in my sleep so it can't have been all bad to wait for the other five! lol. Now I have to rethink the whole thing and triple check my food.....
