I can honestly say that I've never swallowed a spider.

Flying insects, though, that's another story.

I think the worst thing I have swallowed was bird crap. Thats right. Bird. Crap.

I was about 10 years old and quickly riding my bike with my mouth open for some reason. Well, you can put together the rest.

BTW. I'm not wicky.

To demonstrate her point, Holst offered her own made-up list of equally ridiculous "facts," among which was the statistic cited above about the average person's swallowing eight spiders per year, which she took from a collection of common misbeliefs printed in a 1954 book on insect folklore.

It's just not true.
