I've eaten a spider? I once heard that a cold sore is caused by a spider bite. I know that's not true - - I must have eaten it!

the average person swollows up to 6 spiders in their sleep during a life time. i hate spiders so dont try and think about this one.
i remember being told throughout my childhood that you must say god bless you to someone after a sneeze as a sneeze was once thought to be the bodies way of expelling bad spirits.
i dont agree with the smoker loosing 2 teeth in 10yrs, i know plenty of older smokers with all their teeth, i have smoked for 16yrs and have beautiful teeth, possibly just he luck of the draw maybe? well i can only hope
