Is it ture or false that we eat about 7 spiders while were sleeping in a year?

Answer 1

false -- it's a urban legend -- I guess if people repeat something enough -- no matter how silly someone is bound to believe it -- http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mspidereat.html

Answer 2

I hope that it is false. All I know is that I get spider bites at night about 7 or more times a year and that freaks me out.

Answer 3

It must be ture, because it isn't true, and it isn't not false.

Besides, who's counting? A mad doc in the Sleep Spider Lab?

Answer 4

Yes its true that you eat a certain number of spiders within a life time which would include bugs while you are asleep. My daughter read this in a book recently.

Answer 5

I heard it was 8 spiders in a lifetime.

Answer 6

This is a myth- spiders don't particularly like people or wet places (unless they are fishing spiders, in which case there are definitely not enough fish in your mouth), so it doesn't make sense that they would just wander in.

Answer 7

i recently heard that it was about 7 spiders in a lifetime

Answer 8

i've heard eight spiders in a life time.

Another one, is one bug in a chocolate bar per year....the body is all crushed inside and mixed with the chocolate...gross huh?

Answer 9

Eat? Ingest might be a better word. I can believe it. There are some awfully tiny creatures around and it's easy to conceive of one getting sucked in and not getting out.

Answer 10

True

Actually it depends how you sleep, if you sleep with your mouth open then spiders can actually get in.

Answer 11

I believe that it is false the number could be wrong and I heard that it was in an average lifetime.
