    If you haven't already heard about it in the news, here is what happened. 3 women in Chicago, turned up at hospitals over a 5 day period, all with the same symptoms. Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by muscular 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 (Big Chappies, at Blare Airport), 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 small spider. The spider was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was determined to be the South American Blush Spider (arachnius gluteus), 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 Los Angeles 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 New York, changing planes in Chicago, before returning home. He did not visit Big Chappies 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 South America. The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an immediate inspection of the toilets of all flights from South America, and discovered the Blush 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! And please pass this on to everyone you care about

    Editors Note: There is no such airport as Blare, no restaurant by that name and according to the Medline database, the Journal of the United Medical Association doesn't exist and Beverly Clark has never published in a medical journal. And there is no spider genus Arachnius making the Arachnius gluteus nonexistent.

    Re: Spiders on Plane

    omg

    well my sister was just telling me yesterday that a woman developed a sort of lump on her leg and whilst she was having a bath, the lump burst open and all these little spiders came crawling out.

    it happens that a rare spider which lays its eggs in flesh, got hold of her leg, so those were the spiders 'bootiful pumpkins' in chacha jees words

    Re: Spiders on Plane

    We had huge number of mails coming through. and the SCAM mails are sooo good that it just get sync'd with the real world facts.

    And though it was a scam. it is a better way of planning our safety, when we have kept somethings in old store-rooms it is better to go in precausiously.....
