So we went shopping on Saturday for our monthly restock of food, we usually travel all the way to Idaho Falls to shop at Winco since it's cheaper food. We then came home to put all our food away and see some friends. When we got back, Andrew grabbed a whole nest of grapes to eat for a snack. Then he spits it out thinking he had a leaf along with the grapes. But he finds out its too pointy to be a leaf, but a spider! So we freaked out.
I decide to wash the grapes and I found a web which was made in the grapes! So it's not like the spider just jumped in there, it had a home in the grapes!!!!!! Then I looked online what kind of spiders hang out in grapes. Apparently, California in an attempt to go more green they have been including spiders as pesticides to eat the little critters that like grapes. Well, those spiders attract larger spiders that feed on them, such as black widows.....creepy!!!!!!!
I then decided to look into the symptoms of a black widow spider's bite. Usually, spider bites swell or are itchy maybe with some pain or numbness, which Andrew was experiencing on his tongue and roof of his mouth. The more severe ones would cause muscle cramps and such. Fortunately, Andrew is a healthy adult so he survived!!! YEAH!!!! However, we are way paranoid, still like grapes, but way paranoid. We also lost some sleep because of staying up for an extra hour to make sure he didn't show any of the more extreme symptoms.
The moral of this story is, WASH YOUR GRAPES!!!!!!
The Incredible Seagraves live to face another catastrophe.
