      I ate spiders where they are served as a meal. And I still enjoy their companionship. This does not and won’t prevent me from pointing out that they are indeed poisonous - plenty of them in fact.

      It’s the same thing as with certain mushrooms. The dose makes a poison. In case of spiders, eating one or two won’t do you much harm.

          Water isn’t poisonous. It’s a colloquialism. Drinking large quantities of water WILL kill you, because it will (again, a colloquialism) “wash out your electrolytes, thus introducing electrolytic imbalance to the organism”.

          Also, please stop making idiotic and potentially harmful claims that you can eat a bowl of spiders. Or, if you’re absolutely adamant that it’s true, please provide photos of you doing so.

          Until I see a photo, or a recording of you eating a bowl of spiders, you’ll get no response of me. No distractions, no avoidance, no cheap dirty tricks. Put your money where your mouth is.
