Schoolgirl Bites Into Banana… And 80 Spiders

So, we're not going to be buying bananas anytime soon...

Her

A Welsh schoolgirl who planned to get one of her five a day got a bit of a shock when she bit into a banana… to discover 80 spiders in the piece of fruit.

Hannah John took the fruit to school as part of her lunch, but got a surprise when she bit into the snack.

Noticing a hole in the skin, she was horrified to spot dozens of tiny creatures crawling from inside the peeled skin.

The 17-year old told Wales News Service:

“I took the banana into school to have in the morning but I spotted something.

“There was a hole in it and inside there were around 80 tiny spiders. I did let out a scream. It was horrible and I hate spiders.”

Hannah’s biology teacher at Olchfa Comprehensive School in Swansea confirmed to her horrified student that the spiders had come from a spider nest hidden in the fruit.
