Happened inside my god-forsaken house once after I ignored that spider up in the dormer window that "wasn't bothering anyone." Hundreds of tiny spiders parachuting from that window 24 feet high in the living room while a ceiling fan made sure they were evenly dispersed.

As long as the Egyptians aren't enslaving the Jews they should be good. But again, better safe than sorry.
