so people say dont believe in it tho!!! only if your unlucky ha ha ha
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.
Ah, that old chestnut! Most people will be somewhat relieved to know that the horror stories about how the average human swallows a varying number of spiders every year whilst sleeping (the number given varies from teller to teller) seems to be an urban legend fuelled by many people's fear of spiders and insects. Although it probably does happen occasionally, it's certainly not as common as some people fear and the vast majority of people probably go through life without swallowing any insects or spiders during sleep.
of course
You would hope not but apparently its about an average of 8 spiders per week *Average of none you mean. You can't swallow a spider without waking up, and if you were to swallow a spider while sleeping your mouth would have to be open (and facing straight up) very wide, and the spider would have to climb down its silk line perfectly into the back of your throat without touching your lips or tongue. The second it reaches your throat you would have to take a swallow and let it go down.. All in all, it just doesn't happen.
Humans don't consume anything while sleeping.
swallowed a spider and feel some slight pain inside
No, they will wake up when you grab them.
Generally, but not always the case. Spit you don't swallow is called drool.
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! :)
yes! its true you do eat spiders every night but the sick thing is is that you eat at the most 50 a year i don't know how nearly everyone eats them coz most people sleep with there mouth closed...strange :D.
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.
This is normal in most people. The body turns off the salivary glands while sleeping, thus resulting in a dry mouth. Also, some people breath through their mouths while sleeping. The moving air further dries the mouth.
