About them being frightened of "Incy Wincy Spiders", take a look at this.

Result of a bite from the UK False Widow spider. (don't look if you`re a bit squeamish)

I don't believe that's a false widow spider bite - it's a botched stitching job though!!

Truth about false widow spiders:

Some people will have an awful reaction to a spider bite, as will others' to a bee or wasp sting - these can kill some people, some react badly to a simple cat/dog flea bite, it's a fact of life.
Showing the results of a bad reaction that affects a few is pure sensationalism.

Many people have a nut allergy - it's not going to stop me eating them, I have no allergy.

I am, however allergic to lanolin, which is, unfortunately in a lot of make-up removers and moisturisers - it's there to soften the skin. All it does to my skin is turn it into an oozing festering blistering mess.
I suppose I could use some and inform the Daily Mail so there's a mass outcry against lanolin, but I prefer to find a moisturiser and something that removes make up that doesn't contain lanolin.
