And you thought the brown recluse was bad!!!
Three women in North Florida , turned up at hospitals over a 5-day
period, all with the same symptoms. Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed
bymuscular 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 (Olive Garden) 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 a small spider. The spider
was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was determined to be
the Two-Striped Telamonia ( Telamonia dimidiata ), 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 Jacksonville 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 Indonesia , changing planes
in Singapore , before returning home. He did not visit (Olive Garden),
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
India.The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an immediate
inspection of the toilets of all flights from India , and discovered the
Two-Striped Telamonia ( Telamonia dimidiata ) spider's nests on 4 different
planes!
It is now believed 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
