A supermarket in Austria was evacuated after a spider, whose bite is capable of causing painful erections and even death, was spotted.

A PENNY shop in Krems an der Donau, a town located around 45 miles from Vienna, has remained closed since Tuesday, after the four-inch spider was said to have been seen when staffed opened a box of bananas.

 

Descriptions of the spider’s colouring and size led people to believe they were dealing with a Brazilian wandering spider, also known as a “banana spider”.

 

In 2019, scientists at the Federal University of Minas Gerais said the chemicals in its bite could lead to a treatment more effective than Viagra, after they included them in a gel which led to prolonged erections in a study of mice and rats.

 

They found the gel led to a swelling of the penis “lasting about 60 minutes” when applied topically to the genitals.

Painful erections?

I'm guessing the pun was intended when they called it the "banana" spider.

Unfortunately closing the coffin lid will also be a problem if the bite is fatal ???? 

Election or erection?  No matter, same same.
