TULSA, Okla. — One of the most deadly spiders in the world has been found in the produce section of a Tulsa grocery store. An employee of Whole Foods Market found the Brazilian Wandering Spider Sunday in bananas from Honduras and managed to catch it in a container.

The spider was given to University of Tulsa Animal Facilities director Terry Childs who said this type of spider kills more people than any other.

Childs said a bite will kill a person in about 25 minutes and while there is an antidote he doesn't know of any in the Tulsa area.

Spiders often are found in imported produce, and a manager at Whole Foods says the store regularly checks its goods and that's how the spider was found.

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 sport 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

Gives a whole new version of the Mae West line for ER staff "is that a gun in your pocket or have you been bitten by a spider?"

Do they have look-outs on the doors looking for people with inappropriate erections..... now that's what you call planning.

The only inappropriate erections I have these days is when I am alone in bed.

Don't eat the Kim chi !!!

(Or, if you fancy a Korean wench - maybe you should double up on the Kim chi and eat a few cloves of garlic as well)

Will definitely keep the spiders away - but when working on the Man-made river in Libya it encoraged the flies - the Dong Ah camps were recognizable by the black cloud overhead - made up of millions of fat buzzing flies.

Yes, you've got to beware of those venomous spiders. I knew a girl once who got bitten on the funnel by a finger web spider...

The finger web spider? Second only in toxicity to the one eyed trouser snake.

HB, there must be something wrong with me as I quite like kimchi , and pla rah , but that may go to explain my current bout of celebacy.

Cambridge is the centre of the Universe - especially Cherry Hinton.

What with the Strawberry Fair, the CH Folk Festival, the opening of the cricket season - what more could a guy wish for?

Actually with the large student population, compared to the full-time residents, it keeps the place lively and the beer prices down.

But although I still have a house there I have scarcely been back there for over ten years now - working outside UK for 32 of the last 33 years.
