  1. Yep I heard that years ago but I thought it was even more than 8. If you think about it, they are probably the teeny spiders....actually I prefer not to think about. Now I've got the creeps!


  2. Now I know why I can't lose weight.

  3. While your asleep, another you takes over many things, the you that is inside and doesn't ever come out when your awake. It's almost like a robot you, it acts how it should and thats that, no more no less.

    When there is food in your mouth or anything for that matter, your subconscious mind will simply go "oo i need to chew this" and then swallow.

    The average thing is just an average, depends on where you live really. If there is a lot of spiders then you'll eat more, if theres less you might not even eat any. Totally random really, it's all down to chance that a spider will enter your mouth and since spiders are silly and don't move when you pull crazy faces at them, they are most likely to just sit their doing their thing.

  4. apparently according to my brother we eat about 20 spiders either a year or in a lifetime but i think its a year.

  5. Hi,

    not only is it not true that you eat 8 spiders a year, it was actually made up to show how people will believe anything!

  6. This is a long standing myth going back to the 80s. It was a development of the idea that cyclists, motor cyclists and athletes consume flies or insects accidentally. I have lived in the UK and Spain and I don't remember seeing that many spiders in our bedroom let alone eating the darn things accidentally.  Why spiders would crawl into anybody's mouth when they are asleep has not been properly explained to me yet. And don't say looking for food or shelter otherwise they'd hide in your ears as well and how many people wake up with spiders in their ears. Hmm?

  7. the average human eats 7 spiders during their lifetime whilst asleep

  8. you may have your mouth open when you are sleeping.......

  9. I am sooo sleeping on my face from now on.

    It might mean if you have your mouth open spiders will fall into your mouth. Or deliberately go in saying, "Ha ha! Humans Suck!" And other rude sayings. It does seem like spider would be  sticking up their middle leg while crawling down our throats.


  10. This is complete nonsense. Who would conduct the study to determine this? How would it be conducted and why would anyone fund the research?

  11. It means that 8 times a year while we are asleep, on average a spider will climb into our mouths and get crushed if we close are mouth and i think the mouth would automaticallly eat or crush it if it went in so yeah
