\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>The Brazilian wandering spider is one of the most venomous spiders on Earth and has been inducted into the Guinness World Records for\u00a0its deadly poison.\u00a0 <\/span>Wandering spiders contain potent neurotoxins in their fangs which cause their unfortunate victims to endure breathing problems and paralysis.\u00a0 <\/span>Furthermore, the bite causes inflammation and eventually asphyxiation\u00a0that can\u00a0result in\u00a0death.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been reported that victims can die in\u00a0an hour if left untreated.\u00a0 <\/span>However, there is an ironic plus of the venom which is said to be used in erectile dysfunction treatments.\u00a0 Well, <\/span>I am quite sure the cons outweigh the pros if bitten.<\/span><\/p>\n

They can be rather daunting when they go into a defensive stance.\u00a0\u00a0 With their body raised in an erect position, they lift their frontal legs high which sway from side to side to deter any attackers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides that, their scientific name simply means murderess but they are also more comically known as banana spiders as they are fond of hiding in banana plants.\u00a0 <\/span>They adopted the name \u2018wandering\u2019 as they crawl around during the night instead of spinning a web or holing up their den like most ordinary spiders do.<\/span><\/p>\n

There have been numerous reports of people overseas discovering the lethal spider crawling out from their grocery packs.\u00a0 One such case occurred in Somerset where a chef was bitten by a wandering spider while rummaging through a bag of bananas from Brazil.\u00a0 Recently in 2014, a family in London was shocked to discover this deadly spider in a clump of bananas that they had purchased.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, watch out when buying bananas from Brazil! You never know when these pesky beings might appear.<\/span><\/p>\n
