OT: Brazilian Spider, the new viagra

[Arkansas]

Wow.

Oddly, the Brazilian spider delivers more than a painful bite that sends most victims to the hospital. Researchers have found its venom also stimulates an hours-long erection in men.

Patients not only experience overall pain and an increase in blood pressure, they also get an uncomfortable erection.

In Brazil, emergency room staff can immediately spot the victims of a bite.

"The erection is a side effect that everybody who gets stung by this spider will experience along with the pain and discomfort," said study team member Romulo Leite of the Medical College of Georgia, presumably speaking only about male bite victims.

"We're hoping eventually this will end up in the development of real drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction."

So, here's some spider venom. Oh yeah, you'll get a porn-star woody, but use it quickly. You might be dead soon.

Great. Now I'll never find a man who's willing to kill spiders for me.

"No don't squish it, babe, I had a bitch of a week at work, I might need that little bugger!"

And just think of it, those quickie afternoon delights are now going to be six-hour marathons.

Imagine bringing that thing home in veggies from Whole Foods.

Seems the spider was distroyed & might have been a Huntsman spider but since they are from Australia what would it be doing in bananas from Honduras

Seems the Huntsman is huge but not poisonous

I'm rather fond of huntsmen - they have character and they keep the bugs down.

I have a deep respect & fondness for spiders as they are beneficial still I don't like them too close to my bed or hiding in my boots...

Nah, you just shake your shoes out before you put them on Though I confess, I'm not wild about them running across my face when I'm in bed. In my bedroom, fine. In my bed - not so fine.
