In Australia, you can stumble upon a poisonous spider even in a supermarket (5 photos)
One of the most dangerous spiders on the planet is the redback spider. which belongs to the genus of black widows. He lives in Australia. And the people who live nearby, should be extremely careful and careful. 
It turns out that you can meet a dangerous spider not only in nature, but also in an ordinary supermarket!
Brisbane resident Lani Neal recently spoke about her sad experience. She stopped by Woolworths supermarket (it's a whole chain stores all over Australia) and bought a basket of black grapes.
Luckily, she looked into it before pulling out grape. In the center of the cluster, a living red-backed spider sat in a web. Not it is impossible to recognize it: the spider has a characteristic red mark on its back. hourglass shape. 
The redback spider, or Australian widow, is considered the most dangerous spider of Australia. The venom of the female is neurotoxic. The bite is dangerous person and causes severe pain. Somewhat reassuring is the fact that there is an antidote for the bite of a redback spider (developed in the 1950s years) and it is sold in pharmacies. But it does not relieve pain. 
Lani decided to call the store and report her unpleasant find. She couldn't get through, so limited to a post on social networks, the purpose of which, in the first place, was warn local residents of the danger. Who knows if a spider is in one packaging, it may be in another.
The post became very popular and received a lot of responses. IN comments even came from some former product manager from Woolworths and said that there were unwanted guests in the supermarket like poisonous spiders are not uncommon:
Sometimes we found spiders in grapes. One day I opened a box of bananas and found a live snake inside.
When I worked there, we usually put special signs urging people to use common sense and thoroughly inspect and wash products before use. 
In the end, representatives of the store also came to the comments. They are also required to respond to such posts on social networks.
Lani, thanks for the info. We take these things seriously messages and carefully study this issue. Please leave your number or e-mail and information about in which of the stores of our network this happened. 
And although there were ordinary network trolls among the commentators, who tried to convince the girl that she was making an elephant out of a fly, Lani is sure she did the right thing. And people will know about the possible danger, and store employees will be on the alert (at least believe it).
