We don't.
Think about it for a second: Spiders are among the oldest creatures on the earth - do you think they would have survived as long as they have if they constantly wandered into the mouths of other living things?

Apparently we do, we eat / inhale small spiders when we sleep. Normally the spider is inhaled into the mouth, then the sensation activates the production of saliva which leads to a swallow response.

In a lifetime, you eat 8-10 small spiders.
