Hidden Black Widows, Biting Brown Recluses and Other Creepy Spider Stories

Spiders may be small, but they can pack a punch. Just ask the family who found a venomous black widow spider hiding in their refrigerator in a bag of grapes. “The Voice” contestant Meghan Linsey also knows what spiders can do; she was bitten on her face by a brown recluse, creating a hole in her cheek. It took weeks of treatment for her to heal. But one condiment company in the UK takes a friendlier approach to venomous arachnids: Steve's Scientific Sauce uses actual spider venom in its sauces.
