Did you know, (unrelated) that in a grocery store you are likely to purchase a bag or box which a mouse has bitten or laid it's droppings on or around?

I know, I've worked there...

No it does happen my friend, you forget that spiders explore all areas they come across.

Also, spiders do not recognize us as their predators.

Actually, it isn't. I didn't spend years studying Earth Science so some kid could come along and correct me.

Spiders are smart, but they lack the intelligence to keep away from surface moisture. Your mouth happens to have that Moisture, and Spiders are attracted to it.

Now, Spiders are also attracted to what is considered the standard temperature of a room in a house. Approximately Thirty to thirty five spiders come into your house yearly.

Half of that amount goes into your mouth because of the moisture. While you're drifting into REM and something light makes contact with you, the sensitivity of the nerves in your mouth react and you either move your mouth around or swallow and so the Spider gets accidentally eaten.

Case closed.

Case closed. Your breath is warmer then room temperature. Explain to me why they would willingly go into an orifice that was shooting out much hotter than comfortable breath. Please?

First of all, the majority of the time, you are exerting breath from your nose. Let's not forget that. Even so, let us not forget that Spiders are attracted to warmth AND moisture, which you have both inside of the mouth WHICH is primarily open due to the relaxation of jaw muscles and lip tension during sleep, and the fact that your face is facing the roof so your jaw must lower, giving perfect gateway to an entry for a warm, moist place for Arachnids.

He also fails to mention in his article that, out of the thirty five thousand spider species that do exists, some feed off of moisture and some are actually naturally attracted to moving warmth or consistent warmth's of different types. Not all spiders are going to jump off of a roof into your mouth, especially the one that can sense the warmth and moisture from your mouth, and it's not hard to spot for them. Lots of spiders can visually see heat.

Or let's not forget that you can swallow around fourteen to a dozen spiders at once because of the ballooning effect, which happens to over five thousand spider species, and they range in size, something that guy fails to mention in his article as well.


The reason it's only usually sixteen spiders is because you're constantly moving around in your sleep and Spiders often do not make it on top of your bed most of the time AND because certain types of Spiders dislike breathing, being why the number of Spiders coming into your mouth is so small.

How many of these species are in my house right now?








What spiders aren't arthropods again Mr. Earth Science?

Don't know. Alot of them you cannot see.

That's why it's only sixteen times a year.

And if you live in a House and you have property, there's at least one f*cking around somewhere.

Meh, it usually ranges around sixteen. The reported numbers are like fifteen or seventeen or eighteen, usually in the teen areas.

Hell, I've had a few people come into the Hospital that have found DEAD Spiders in their mouths when they wake up.

It's gross and creepy, and it happens.

In the past, I've had a few spiders on seperate occasions drop on to me from my ceiling which I can easily picture attempting to enter my my mouth had I not been awake. Thus it is believable to believe the facts that Xavius has mentioned.

gross spiders are cool to look at (as long as you have lots of glass or plastic seperating you

Oh, you edited your post? Let me re-reply here.


I'm sorry, but first of all: Who the hell said Spiders are not arthropods, Mr. Ninth grade?

Oh, I see. All Arthropods had a sensitivity to body heat.

^ WRONG!


Oh, BTW

There are hundreds beyond hundreds of Spiders in your house right now you can't see.

Breath. Where does it say body heat?

Prove it.

You look small for an 11er.





Oh, so your breath doesn't exert the temperature of your body heat now?





It's a common fact, especially if you're living in a House. There are microscopic Spiders you cannot see.


Just because you cannot see something doesn't mean it isn't there.

Originally posted by Xavius

Go you!





So? I'm one year younger than most of my classmates. And? I sound like I'm 20+

Not sure actually, I won't pretend to be the doctor. But I'm faiirly certain the temperature of the mouth is different from the core body temperature, though since the exhaled stuff (Carbon Dioxide I think) comes from the lungs which is immersed in the core body temperature I'm not sure. It is still breath though... why keep ignoring that?



*chews crunchily*




Like the breath they're supposedly afraid of.

Originally posted by $noopbert

Wewt?



It's change is very small while in-mouth. When out of mouth, it converts to the room temperature, which is why certain Spiders can get so close.

No one ignored it. You missed the point. Not all Spiders scatter from human breath. Some are adaptive to temperature and are so small, it doesn't even bother them (Also the speed of average human breathing comes into consideration when talking about the Arachnid actually sensing it.)





O RLY?






supposedly is taken into consideration . . . By you, hopefully.

Some are and some aren't. The balance of that ratio within North American spiders is a thin line.

It's common ground.

The spiders you swallow are usually in-between 13-19 Spiders.

So, why not dive into the middle?

That is an approximate number. It's well known. Just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean it's bullshit. That's logical fallacy.

I'd just like to mention that spiders aren't capable of crawling down a gullet. The person would have to swalow it, which isn't possible whilst asleep. If a spider went down my throat, (which is already improbable) I would cough it up, or choke.
