eating spiders

Ok, so this headline on msn this morning freaked me out, so I clicked and read, this is what I found!
Urban legend has it that every year you swallow about eight spiders — while you sleep. Is that true?

You eat eight spiders every year in your sleep. True?
Nope, says MythBusters. There's no evidence that spiders secretly crawl into our mouths while we're sleeping. Even if you were lying perfectly still, your breathing would scare a spider off, so it's unlikely to hang out around your mouth. Alas, the bad news: You probably consume more spiders when you are awake -- in your food. Here's why: The Food and Drug Administration guidelines allow a certain level of whole insects or parts in some food products, such as those containing fruits or vegetables. Yum

Nasty, huh? Here's the link eating spiders

I'd heard the eating-spiders-in-your-sleep myth...so glad it's not true. ICK, though, to eating it in the food...gross....
