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