Do I need to do anything about this? Eww

DD 16 months ate a spider
A big one by the size of the legs she handed us, legs were given up but no body/spider to be seen
1 leg was taken out of her mouth 🤢
What do I do about this? Apart from never look at my toddler the same
Got visions of it coming out in her nappy...
I did not appreciate this on a Friday evening

You know, I used to care for an older child who ate his own poo on the daily and the GP gave the go ahead for it to happen, as he couldn't be stopped.

This has reminded me of dog I once knew who liked eating spiders. I objected when the spiders legs were waving around out of his lips 🤢
I'm sure your daughter will be fine, but I suggest citrus smells around the room and windows. To keep the snacks down.....

@jewishmum you must be a very special person 💐

😆😆😆

Snacks for later, lovely... 😂

Stomach acid will sort it out. Assuming it is a daddy longlegs type spider.

@diggersaurus When my son was 3 we lived in Thailand, he would eat anything as long as it was ‘on a stick’ and came from night market. Including crickets.

CRONCHY!

🤣

The whole thing about us eating spiders every year is a myth. Spiders will no sooner climb into your mouth than you would climb inside a crocodiles jaws.

Definitely one to write in her baby book..

Spiders don't actually recognise us as animals. We are so large to a spider we are viewed more like part of the environment. That's why it might appear a spider on a hot day is going towards you, when they are really just seeing your shoe as a shady rock.

They might be walking along the bed and, in the unlikely scenario it was dehydrated, it might go to your mouth to drink the fluid.

I think the only option is adoption

You do know that food items are allowed a certain amount of insects matter in them, when they are made? Especially likely to occur when you think how massive cats are used when mixing, sauces, seasonings, doughs etc in food factories. It’s highly likely that you eaten several without ever knowing.

Massive vats. Vats!!! Although massive cats would mean zero insects….

Massive cats making food? You must be lion!

(Sorry, I know you corrected the typo but I couldn't help myself!)

Ooh, can I borrow your daughter please, OP? Just for the remainder of spider season? I'll return her by halloween at the latest.

@SlagathaChristie 🤣🤣🤣
in my head I had a visions of a massive cat prowling a factory like the one from the Goodies!!

People saying phone 111 🤣🤣? What do you expect them to do? Spiders are not poisonous, the child will survive.

Apparently we eat several spiders in our lifetimes without even knowing it.

haha that/s gross but there's nothing to be done!
My cat eats loads of spiders and she's very healthy... maybe it's good for them!

I’ve eaten several massive cats?

This had made my evening!

No self-respecting spider is going to crawl into a sleeping predator's open mouth. Why on earth would it want to?

My daughter did this. She's now on night shift with the Met as a response cop and 30 years old

MASSIVE CATS
