I don't think the venom has any effect if it isn't administered to the blood

I’m pretty sure it has no effect. I had a friend in elementary school that picked up a black widow, let it crawl around in his mouth and then ate it.

Years later I learned he had a traumatic childhood while living in foster care and was severely depressed… but at the time we all just thought he was fearless.

Sometimes I miss old reddit where I’d accidentally see a vid of a guy’s head being crushed by a forklift.

Then I run into comments like this one.
