North Floridians Better lift the Seat.

I have no idea whether this is a hoax or not but I posted the emil I got from some below.

A spider bite...please read...........[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
And you thought the brown recluse was bad!!![FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
Three women in North Florida , turned up at hospitals over a 5-day period,[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
all with the same symptoms. Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
muscular collapse, paralysis, and finally, death.
There were no outward signs of trauma.[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood.[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
These women did not know each other, and seemed to have[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
nothing in common
It was discovered, however, that they had all visited the same Restaurant [FONT=Times New Roman, Times][/FONT]
(Olive Garden) within days of their deaths. The health department [FONT=Times New Roman, Times][/FONT]
descended on the restaurant, shutting it down. The food, water, and[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
air conditioning were all inspected and tested, to no avail.[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was rushed[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
to the hospital with similar symptoms. She told doctors that she had[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
been on vacation, and had only went to the restaurant to pick up her check.[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
She did not eat or drink while she was there, but had used the restroom. [FONT=Times New Roman, Times][/FONT]
That is when one toxicologist, remembering an article he had read,[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
drove out to the restaurant, went into the restroom, and lifted the toilet seat.[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
Under the seat, out of normal view, was a small spider.[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
The spider was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was determined [FONT=Times New Roman, Times][/FONT]
to be the Two-Striped Telamonia (Telamonia dimidiata), so named because[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
of its reddened flesh color. This spider's venom is extremely toxic,[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
but can take several days to take effect. They live in cold, dark, damp[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
climates, and toilet rims provide just the right atmosphere. [FONT=Times New Roman, Times][/FONT]
Several days later a lawyer from Jacksonville showed up at a hospital[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
emergency room. Before his death, he told the doctor, that he had been[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
away on business, had taken a flight from Indonesia , changing planes in[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
Singapore , before returning home. He did not visit (Olive Garden),[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
while there. He did, as did all of the other victims, have what was determined [FONT=Times New Roman, Times][/FONT]
to be a puncture wound, on his right buttock.
Investigators discovered that the flight he was on had originated in India[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an immediate inspection of[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
the toilets of all flights from India , and discovered the Two-Striped Telamonia [FONT=Times New Roman, Times][/FONT]
(Telamonia dimidiata) spider's nests on 4 different planes![FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
It is now believed that these spiders can be anywhere in the country. [FONT=Times New Roman, Times][/FONT]
So please, before you use a public toilet, lift the seat to check for spiders.[FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
It can save your life![FONT=Times New Roman, Times] [/FONT]
And please pass this on to everyone you care about.[FONT=Times New Roman, Times]
