Today, I will tell you a very surprising thing: in order to find some stimulation, a 37-year-old woman in the United States actually mashed a highly toxic black widow spider and injected it into her body with a syringe, which caused her heart rate to soar directly to 188, and her life was in danger.
What happened to this lady? How powerful is the Black Widow spider? Are there such highly toxic spiders in our country?
American woman "dies" attempt
Black widow spiders are very dangerous, if ordinary people really find black widow spiders around, they must stay away immediately and call the police for help.
Speechlessly, the American woman knows the harm of such poisonous spiders, in other words, she uses the dangers of poisonous spiders to achieve the purpose of seeking excitement. She mashed a whole Black Widow, mixed it with distilled water, and injected it into her own body with a syringe.
But she only knew that Black Widow's poison could bring her stimulation, but she didn't know that Black Widow could kill her.
An hour after injecting the venom, her body developed severe muscle spasms, and she was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment after being discovered by people around her. The examination revealed that the woman's heart rate soared to 188 beats per minute and her blood pressure soared to 188/108 mm Hg.
We know that the normal heart rate of adults is generally 60 to 100 beats per minute, the heart rate of the elderly will be slower than that of the young, and the heart rate of women is faster than that of men. The general ideal blood pressure is less than 120/80 mm Hg.
As a result, the woman's vital signs were severely abnormal. She had muscle spasms all over her body, most severe in her abdomen, thighs and back, with severe pain and anxiety, and then difficulty breathing, leaving her confined to the intensive care unit.
Under the full treatment of the doctor, the woman's body slowly returned to normal, it can be said that she walked away from the ghost door and picked up a life.
The hazards of the Black Widow spider
So why are the Black Widow spiders so scary?
The scientific name of the black widow spider is interspotted spider, and its venom is highly toxic. It is called Black Widow because the female of this spider will eat the male after mating with the male. In addition, when living conditions are more difficult, they will also choose to eat their own kind to survive.
Its body is black with red spots on its belly, like an hourglass. Its venom is 15 times stronger than that of a rattlesnake and requires only 0.006 milligrams to kill a mouse.
They like to build cobwebs under the eaves, gutters and the like. They are very reproductive, and females only mate once in their lives, and this time they can lay 5,000 eggs.
Once the venom of the black widow spider enters the human body, it will directly stimulate the human central nervous system, and the wound at the beginning is like a small needle hole, which is difficult to find. After a few hours, the wound becomes acutely painful, with life-threatening symptoms such as chills, fever, difficulty breathing, and muscle stiffness.
We've also seen curious videos on the Internet: someone specifically catches a black widow spider and raises it and teases it with their fingers. This kind of practice of completely disregarding one's own life in order to attract attention is absolutely unattainable!
Mainland control of black widow spiders
The mainland customs' control of the black widow spider is very strict, because the slightest mistake will carry it into the mainland and endanger the domestic people.
In April 2021, Nantong Customs, which belongs to Nanjing Customs, intercepted a large number of brown widow spiders and oocysts on ships sailing internationally. The ship is nearly 30 years old, the cabin is mottled, there are still remnants of bark and debris on the deck, and there are spider webs scattered in the corners, and when the guards inspected deeply, they found a full 17 live widow spiders and oocysts, which was shocking.
On the day of the test, hundreds of spiders hatched from these oocysts, and if these spiders were introduced into the country, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In June 2022, Fujian Putian Customs intercepted a live spider and four oocysts during an inspection of an imported container. Identified as a black widow spider.
In November of the same year, Xiamen Customs also intercepted a live black widow spider. It was also found in the corner of the container. The customs officer at the scene immediately closed the container cabinet door, sanitize, carefully re-inspected the vehicle, and then sent the test results to show that the spider was a highly toxic black widow spider.
summary
This American woman's approach is just an example, but there are people who will also want to give it a try after they know it. I would like to advise you that life is precious, and do not joke with your own life.
Every minute of the woman's time in the intensive care unit could die at any time, and her survival is a blessing in misfortune, and it does not mean that her behavior can be imitated.
If you really encounter a black widow spider, the first thing to do is to stay calm, stay away immediately, and don't provoke it. In case of being bitten, go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible and seek help from a doctor!
