OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!!! That was one of the nastiest things I have ever experienced.
I have a large bowl of huge strawberries next to my desk. I just picked up one of the larger ones, gripped the cluster of green leaves in a clump, and chomped down only to discover a big, black, hairy spider now severed in half…
Oi…Oi…Oi…Gag*
I just tasted spider gut. I have to chill while the knot in my throat unbends…BLAAAAAAAAAHH!!!
I had a spider in my mouth once. The experience is just beyond disgusting. Poor you. Gargle some bleach and you’ll be fine. 
Hundreds of baby spiders are often attached to the mother’s abdomen.
They usually just kinda sit there… pulsing.
Oh yuck. pukey face
Try washing your mouth out with Listerine multiple times and scubbing your mouth with industrial strength toothpaste (and maybe throwing the toothbrush out).
shudder
EWW EWW EWW
Of all the threads I ever read this was by far the most TMI: made me gag. :eek:
I am sooo sorry.
What’s worse than finding a spider on your strawberry?
Finding half a spider on the strawberry you just bit.
Oh BARF!!! lieu that was awful. Oh man, somebody get the disinfectant!
Protein!
** Antiquarian** have you met Payton’s Servant? I think you two would be great pals…
Was it really huge and hairy Antiquarian? How huge, how hairy? WE NEED DETAILS
“Waiter, there’s a fly in my soup!”
“Well, pipe down about it, or everyone else will want one too!”
**LIEU!!! **
Thats so nasty!!
Thank God, thank the universe for being in line, thank whoever that I am a commuter and had my toiletry bag with me!! Luckily I actually had it in my office, otherwise it is usually in my car, and I parked all the way across the common today!
I brushed 6 times, and listerined until my travel bottle was empty.
shudders
Now there is a taste I will not soon unburn from my collective memory.
I’ve seen some nasty, utterly gross things eaten in my travels - Bat Guano - but never had I taken the pleasure of indulging in any of them.
My wife is on her way down to my office - we work for the same company - OH MY GOD!!!
She can look at it in the rubbage basket, I’ll kindly refrain.
BLAAAHHHGG!!!
No no, I’m good withut knowing these things. God, now I can never eat strawberries again…or anything else, for that matter. Ewww…
lieu, while it is certainly interesting, I don’t know that the OP would find the babies thing especially helpful.
Very funny, though. 
Don’t worry, Antiquarian, in some parts of the world, big, black, hairy spiders are a delicacy. Maybe.
Kn(ckecking all my strawberries from now on)ckers
Kn*ckers - I hope you do check all of your strawberries from now on. That goes for the rest of you too!!
But judging by your location kn*ckers, we’re in the same state.
Gazelle - big enough.
I wanna go home.
Oh.My.God.
<<shudder>>
The only thing I remember from college is that ALL SPIDERS HAVE TOXIC VENOM. That was enough for me… now add “pulsating young” to that.
:eek: I may never sleep again. (And no strawberries for me, thanks.)
(I hope you get the taste out of your mouth soon!!!)
: massive attack of the willies :
Oh dear God in heaven. Why did I read this? WHY??
lieu, I don’t think I’ve ever giggled with horror before. Interesting experience, that.
OMG, I have had nightmares about that. Ew ew ew ew.
Poor Antiquarian 
Oooooh . . . and I just bought some strawberries . . .
Oh my god. In all the time I’ve been reading this board, no thread has created such a visceral reaction in me. The title alone was enough…
What do spider guts taste like?
