Woman finds black widow spider in her grapes

According to 26 year old Michael Frank,  his 25 year old gf, Ariel Jackson bought grapes from Walmart for a barbecue party at her sister's house this past Sunday.
When Jackson started washing the grapes, she noticed a black widow spider crawling inside the package and "freaked out," he said.

He said:
"She was screaming about a huge spider, and everyone was like, 'Calm down, it's probably nothing,'. "But we took a closer look and lo-and-behold, it's a black widow. It had the red hourglass-shaped spot on its belly."

She called 911 because the fire department was closed. 
She said: "When I called them, I said, 'This isn’t really an emergency, but I have a black widow spider,'" Jackson told ABC affiliate in Detroit. "And he’s like, 'Just kill it,’ and I’m like, 'Me? You want me to kill it?’"
Frank said he took photos and video of the spider before he and Jackson's brother sprayed it with an insect killer until it eventually died.

"It was definitely frightening," Frank said. "My girlfriend is still definitely shaken up. The smallest little things freak her out now. I mean, it's not every day you see a black widow spider."
He added that Jackson's 1-year-old nephew was in the house at the time they were washing the grapes, and they're glad no one got hurt.

They said they called the Walmart where she bought the grapes and they told them to return the grapes with their receipt for a refund but they said they already killed the spider so let it go. 

The black widow's venom is a "neurotoxin that produces pain at the bite area and then spreads to the chest, abdomen, or the entire body," according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC), though death is a possibility in "severe cases," more common symptoms include itching or a rash, pain at the site of the bite, a reddish or purplish blister, muscle pain or cramping, difficulty breathing, headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, anxiety and high blood pressure.

The black widow spider is poisonous,maybe that's why she freaked out, but they would have just killed it instead of disturbing 911.

Hmmmm! A black widow spider is a big deal. I would have freaked out if I had seen it too! That shit kills!!!! Y'all should start watching 1000 ways to die on Sony channel 127, you'll see so many annoying ways people die, then you'll prolly take life more seriously. Thank God they saw it before unpacking the grapes though.

Segun said...

only those who dont understand will criticise...i've been beaten by this type of spider before and honestly, it was a near death experience...heard the venom is even more lethal than that of the viper.

Why didn't they threaten to sue Walmart! Daft people, they'd have made some cool cash! One has to be very smart. Do you know how much Walmart makes??

It's a black widow, it's akin to seeing a poisonous snake in groceries you just bought.

Nor be only 911 abi Fire department! They should have gone further to call The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), C.I.A and maybe even U.N.

You people clearly have no idea how dangerous that spider is or how deadly its bite is. I would have moved out of that house and left that spider there one time.
