A common urban legend passed around via email is that that average person will swallow 8 spiders while sleeping during their lifetime.This is true. It isa "statistic" made up for the sole purpose of being passed around on the internet to gross people out. Although it is disgusting many need spiders to survive.See the related links section for the Snopes article about it.
yes 7 on average for people who sleep with their mouth closed, they just eat more of them... :D
Yes, you do eat spiders in your sleep. Spiders like wet, damp, dry places. When you sleep with your mouth open, they crawl in and wake you up. Your instincs are to swallow once you wake up, so there goes the spider! Whether or not you eat 8, we are not posotive of the exact number. Hope this helps! :)
sleep with your mouth open or drool
Maybe. There is no reason that they would avoid you if you blocked their path or if you had food on you.
You should not sleep under a tree at night because there is not much protection from the elements. There are bugs that can crawl on you. You will not be protected if it rains or snows. You are also open to crime.
Open your mouth when you see a fly. In your lifetime you will eat at least 8 flies and Spiders in your sleep.
This is an urban myth. In order for a sleeping person to swallow a live spider there would involve many highly unlikely circumstances. There are no formal scientific or medical records of anyone ever swallowing a spider while sleeping.
they crawl into their shells and sleep
Well they probably die and go through your body the same way food does, or, the just devolve in your mouth---that's kinda nasty tho
you eat about 7-8 a yearActually it's a myth. There is no scientific or medical proof that spiders crawl into humans mouths as they sleep. It's not 4 spiders a year and it's not a pound of spiders in a lifetime, it's just plain untrue
It is always recommended that you leave any type of denture out of your mouth at night when you sleep! Leaving a denture in at night increases your chances of developing sores or infections in your mouth.
