per night ? NO , I am sure the average human ingests critters while they are asleep some time or another, I have eaten bugs riding a motor cycle before LOL not on purpose :)P

Gross but it would explain why I am not hungry in the mornings ; )

I don't know about seven, but I'm sure we eat some from time to time. A couple years ago there was a kid who had a spider lay eggs in his ear!

Some people enjoy them!

Nope, I really don't believe it. Firstly, it is a rough estimate; not everyone can swallow exactly seven spiders each night. Secondly, the estimate was taken from a sample of people, not every human in the world. Thirdly, prove I swallowed seven spiders last night.

If you are to eat a spider in your sleep you'll have to close your epiglottis in order to swallow it, otherwise you'd choke, so, if this were true there'd be far more cases of people choking to death in their sleep from inhalation of spiders.

No, I do not believe that myth, I'm sure you ingest critters sometime while you sleep, but 7 spiders a night is way to many. I don't think you could swallow a spider without knowing it? I couldn't.

I believe SNOPES has already debunked this urban legend.

It was a "fact" circulated by the columnist Lisa Holst in 1993 in a list of made up facts to prove how gullible people are.

No, not seven, but maybe every once in awhile. That is one reason I don't like to camp out though.

If I did, I would know it. It is just a fable. I would dread having swallowed 7 spiders in my sleep.
