Scientists have discovered a potentially marketable contraceptive in the venom of Chile’s black widow spider, whose bite is fatal to many but can also cause prolonged, painful and involuntary erections in men.

The venom of the Latrodectus mactans, a variety of black widow found only in the south of Chile, has spermicidal properties not found in black widows in other regions of the world, Chilean Dr. Fernando Romero said.

Romero heads a research team that has studied the spider’s venom for seven years, prompted by tales of Chilean farmers who acquired superhuman virility after being bitten by the black widow.

2. There's a Passage in Chuck Palahnuik's Latest Book "Rant" on That

As a young teen, the title character was always sticking his hand in holes in the ground and getting bit by various things. On one occasion, he stood up in class and claimed that a spider bite had given him a painful priapism and demanded to see a nurse. It was a quandary for the teacher because it was a potentially serious medical condition but there was no easy way to tell. Then, after that excuse worked, all the other boys demanded to leave class for the same reason and chaos ensued.
