Spiders are my kryptonite and I FOUND ONE IN MY DAMN HELMET. I dont care if I come off like a wuss, I dont mind admitting that I am scared to death of spiders.

Anyway, I cant imagine what wouldve happened had I been riding and that thing started crawling down my face. Ive handled bees and hornets hitting my bare arms and sticking in there while riding, and I can handle that fine. Spider in the helmet NO WAY.

My guess is I wouldve scream like a girl scout and crashed.

I live in LA, but when I went out to the mid west to see a friend I swear to god they like dont even notice them! Tough folk out there!

 

Found my solution, thank God:

They say no matter where you are there is a spider within 3 feet of you....

 

Dude... Californians take enough crap on this board already... you're not helping!

 

 

 

Lol, I'm loving the responses.

 

Spiders are good,they eat other insects! But I hate them.

 

You bet there is. I wonder how many bugs and spiders crawl in our nose and mouth while sleeping. IIRC, one Of my high school teachers said it happens more often than we think. LOL

 

I've always been paranoid of them in my shoes. Well, few weeks ago it happened. Getting ready for work slid them on and went to brush my teeth. Felt something in front of my big toe. Paused, wiggled it and CRUNCH. Jerked it off and dumped him out. Luckily it was just a grass spider. But it was massive and still freaky none the less. I check them daily now. I've had a couple in my helmet as well. Live in the woods so we're crawling with them. Only the tiny garage spiders tho. I'm not really scared of them, but it still makes my skin crawl thinking about it.
