After eating one sandwich, I was still hungry, so I decided to make another. I went to get the mayo to put on my bread and I noticed a really small spider in the jar. I must have overlooked it the first time I used the mayo. Of course, I lost my appetite and decided not to make another sandwich. I can't help thinking that the spider had laid small microscopic eggs in the mayonaise, and I've eaten some! Or worse, I've eaten a spider! If there are eggs in it and I've eaten them, what's the worst that can happen? Can I get food poisoning or some other horrible sickness? Please relieve my troubled mind!

Dont worry, if it laid eggs and you ate them they would be killed in a short amount of time by natural acids in your stomach, there wouldn't be a bunch of babies spiders running around inside you. Even if you ate the spide worst case he'd bite you on the way down but that is also highly unlikely in your situation so most likley the eggs are just another bit of protein in your diet. Hope this puts your mind at ease. Good luck and be safe.

I doubt the spider laid it's eggs in the mayo so don't worry. As far as eating the spider, did you know that in an average lifetime, you will eat 70 assorted bugs and 10 spiders while sleeping? (eck! makes you want to wrap yourself up like a burrito!!) LOL! I'm sure nothing will happen. If you haven't shown any real symptoms by now (not the psychological ones like when we see a bunch of ants we start feeling itchy even though there's nothing on us), you're fine!!

OH MY GOSH. I'm sure it's not a big deal but I am gagging over here just thinking about. That's disgusting. Seriously though, it's probably not a big deal. We probably consume many spiders/bugs while we are sleeping. And think of all the nastier things that the people on Fear Factor eat! I'm sure your fine but I am totally grossed out for you!!

sry to let u know this.. FACT: the average person consumes at least 30 spiders in their sleep throughout the duration of their life..
so i wouldn't be worried.. and a lot of the time sickness is related to something mentally... if you are worried you might get sick... but it rele is nothing.. and another thing.. those eggs wouldn't last long in your stomach.. stomach acid kills things in seconds..
no worries!! honestly
