I always wash my grapes before eating them. At least I think I do? Well anyway, I definitely will wash them every time from now on. A Connecticut woman named Norma Weiss found a black widow spider in her grapes -- and it was still alive! Eek! You may be relieved to learn that Norma was not about to pop that spider in her mouth. She discovered it when she pulled the grapes out of their package to wash before eating. Still ... I'd hate to think of what would happen if that spider had managed to crawl onto her hand and bite her for invading its home. The grapes were organic, of course -- pesticides probably would have killed off the spider. But despite her creepy brush with the black widow, Norma says she'll keep choosing organic.![]()
