How To React When A Tarantula Runs Up Your Leg

September 5 2012 , Written by Mike Wendling

Let me paint the scene....

You live in a small town in Belize in Central America. It is HOT. Hot all the time. Hot in the morning, Hot at lunch, Hot at night, Hot while you sleep. It is HOT. Needless to say one sweats a lot and clean laundry is important.

You walk over to your agitator (basically a washing machine that just spins the water. A decent clean at best) and grab your gym bag that lies empty on the ground. As you lift your bag a ginormous spider falls on your bare foot and runs up your leg to your middle thigh.

Now your appropriate response is clearly to scream like a little girl (I went for a 5 year old) and run as fast as you can out of the house.

Thank you Dave Brokke for making me relive the horror of that day.
