"A Brazilian wandering spider, the most venomous spider in the world, was scurrying around a Whole Foods Market in Tulsa, Oklahoma. An employee caught the spider in the produce section and the store called the University of Tulsa."

(It travels by bananas....ARGH!!!)

As I used to tell Grandma, who would warn me about some danger or other every time I went somewhere, if I tried to avoid everything that could hurt me, I'd never leave the house. Heck, even the house isn't safe. :>

Christine and I found black widows in our garage. She crushed 'em with a long board. And Texas scorpions? Not fatal. Any of 'em. I learned that when one stung me in the middle of the night. On my bed.

If you want to double-check the fruit before you pick it up in the store, it only takes a few seconds. But as a source of worry, the ROI is negative. ;)
