Fwd: Killer Spider

[Guest guest]

To all travelers, be cautious and careful... Good to know things like this.

 

Just received from Malaysia.

 

Three women in KL, turned up at hospitals over a 5-day period, all

with the same symptoms. Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by

muscular collapse, paralysis, and finally, death. There were no

outward signs of trauma. Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood.

 

These women did not know each other, and seemed to have nothing in

common. It was discovered, however, that they had all visited the same

Restaurant along Jalan Kuchai Lama within days of their deaths.

 

The health department descended on the restaurant, shutting it down.

The food, water, and air conditioning were all inspected and tested,

to no avail.

 

The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was rushed to the

hospital with similar symptoms. She told doctors that she had been on

vacation, and had only went to the restaurant to pick up her check.

She did not eat or drink while she was there, but had used the

restroom.

 

That is when one toxicologist, remembering an article he had read,

drove up to the restaurant, went into the restroom, and lifted the

toilet seat.

 

Under the seat, out of normal view, was a small spider. The spider was

captured and brought back to the lab, where it was determined to be

the Two-Striped Telamonia (Telamonia dimidiata), so named because of

its reddened flesh color. This spider's venom is extremely toxic, but

can take several days to take effect. They live in cold, dark, damp

climates, and toilet rims provide just the right atmosphere.

 

Several days later a lawyer from JB showed up at a hospital emergency

room. Before his death, he told the doctor, that he had been away on

business, had taken a flight from Indonesia, changing planes in

Singapore, before returning home. He did not visit the restaurant,

while there. He did, as did all of the other victims, have what was

determined to be a puncture wound, on his right buttock..

 

Investigators discovered that the flight he was on had originated in

India. The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an immediate

inspection of the toilets of all flights from India, and discovered

the Two-Striped Telamonia (Telamonia dimidiata) spider's nests on 4

different planes!

 

It is now believed that these spiders can be anywhere in the country.

So please, before you use a public toilet, lift the seat to check for

spiders. It can save your life! And please pass this on to everyone

you care about.
