Please pay attention to this article. It is of utmost importance.

Three women in KL turned up at hospitals over a 5-day period,

all with the same symptoms - fever, chills, 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 a 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 four

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.
