How many spiders to you think crawled down your throat last year while sleeping?

Question

They say that people swallow an average 7 spiders each year while sleeping.

Answer 1

not much, there good protein any way and healthy for you.

Answer 2

I'm not for sure, but I think I heard once that in a lifetime the average would be like 9

Answer 3

I read a report the average is up to 8 spiders per year

Answer 4

Probably more than 7. I feel like I'm always killing spiders in my house... so we probably have a ton of 'em.

Answer 5

Not true.  Someone made it up.  They wanted to make an example of crazy things on the internet that people belive.  Though i am sure it's not completly impossible to have a spider crawl down your throat while sleeping, it's highly doubtable for this to happen to an individual eight times a year. it's a myth.

Answer 6

I think you'll find it's per lifetime, not year.

So I reckon none last night, though when I woke up I wasn't very hungry.

Answer 7

I always have nightmares about spiders on the wall of my bed. I wake up and jump out of bed and make my husband turn on the light. I would guess I probably swallow about 12 cause this happens alot and I bet it's not really dreams. It's spiders sneaking up on me yucko.

Answer 8

d**n, i didnt even know about this . . .

Answer 9

Well if I had to guess, then i would say seven... I think i tasted one once

Answer 10

I strongly belive thats a myth

Answer 11

I heard of that, and the thought of it makes me cringe. I'm not sure how many I ate but everytime I go to sleep and wake up my mouth is closed.

Answer 12

i thought it was 5 per year but yeah.... delicious

Answer 13

Nope, it's the avergae person swallows eight spiders in a lifetime. A friend of mine woke up with one in her mouth once, but it's just something I try not to think about!!

Answer 14

I heard they crawled in your ears.  I don't think one spider went down my throat at night.  That is silly.  Spiders tremble in fear of me.

Answer 15

I didn't think that was true at first. I've asked a few people about that and each one said that it does happen. I haven't noticed because they are probably so small.  I hope I never notice it.
