This took a great deal of time."

>  Three women in North Florida turned up at hospitals over a 5-day 
> period, all with the same symptoms.
>  
>  Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by muscular collapse, paralysis 
> and finally, death.
>  
>  There were no outward signs of trauma.
>  
>  Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood. These women did not 
> know each other and seemed to have nothing in common. It was 
> discovered, however, that they had all visited the same Restaurant 
> (Olive Garden) within days of their deaths. The Health Department 
> descended on the restaurant , shutting it down. The food, water, and 
> air conditioning were all inspected and tested, to no avail.
>  
>  The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was rushed to 
> the hospital with similar symptoms. She told doctors that she had been 
> on vacation, and had only went to the restaurant to pick up her check.
>  
>  She did not eat or drink while she was there, but had used the restroom.
>  
>  That is when one toxicologist, remembering an article he had read, 
> drove out to the restaurant, went into the restroom and lifted the 
> toilet seat .
>  
>  Under the seat, out of normal view, was a small spider. The spider 
> was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was determined to 
> be the Two-Striped Telamonia (Telamonia dimidiata), so named because 
> of its reddened flesh color.&nb sp; This spider's venom is extremely 
> toxic, but can take several days to take effect. They live in cold, 
> dark, damp climates, and toilet rims provide just the right atmosphere.
>  
>  Several days later a lawyer from Jacksonville showed up at a hospital 
> emergency room. Before his death, he told the doctor, that he had been 
> away on business, had taken a flight from Indonesia , changing planes 
> in Singapore , before returning home. He did NOT visit (Olive Garden), 
> while there. He did (as did all of the other victims) have what was 
> determined to be a puncture wound, on his right buttock. Investigators 
> discovered that the flight he was on had originated in India .
>  
>  The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an
>  immediate inspection of the toilets of all flights from India and
>  discovered the Two-Striped Telamonia (Telamonia dimidiata) spider's nests
>  on 4 different planes!
>  
>  It is now believed that these spiders can be anywhere in the country.
>  
>  So please, before you use a public toilet, lift the seat to check for
>  spiders. It can save your life!
>  
>  
>  And please pass this on to everyone you care about.
