Today's useless fact - How many spiders do we eat when we are
sleeping?
Actually through some research they have found that the average
person
swallows three spiders
while sleeping in a lifetime.
But you must take a few things into perspective to figure this
out:
1. Your location. If the place where you sleep regularly is in a
woodsy area, you'll probably have more spiders there than
someone
in a place where there's no dark corners for spiders to lurk.
2. The places where you sleep. If you sleep in a hotel one night,
and
you happen to swallow a spider there, and then at home you
swallow
four spiders throughout your entire life, that's five spiders.
Whereas, if you never went to that hotel that night, and you
only
swallowed the spiders in your house, you'll have swallowed a
sum of
four spiders.
3. The way you sleep. If your mouth doesn't hang open one night
(which
is unlikely to happen), and a spider happens to swing by, they
can't enter your mouth.
The bottom line is, it all depends on these factors, as well as
other
factors, and probability. One person can swallow ten spiders
during
their lifetime, while another person can swallow none.
