Man, The Lord had a good laugh making this thing up:

An employee of Whole Foods Market in Tulsa discovered what an expert said was a Brazilian wandering spider in a bunch of bananas from Honduras on Sunday and managed to catch it in a container.
...
Death from its bite is rare, and only victims with compromised immune systems, such as babies or older people, would be at risk, they said.

Oddly, the Brazilian spider delivers more than a painful bite that sends most victims to the hospital. Researchers have found its venom also stimulates an hours-long erection in men.

Patients not only experience overall pain and an increase in blood pressure, they also get an uncomfortable erection.

In Brazil, emergency room staff can immediately spot the victims of a bite.
What the?
Also: Uncomfortable erection? Is it on fire, or something?

So if Peter Parker were bitten by a radioactive one of these, we might get an entirely different type of superhero?

This is why all the outcry to preserve the rainforests. They get a lot of meds there, you know. Viagra had to come from someplace. . .

It would be a better world if you needed a spider bite to cure erectile dysfunction; it would make damn sure you're serious about getting laid.

I read that to mean that the hospitals are staffed with frightfully unattractive folks.

"No hotties around, so you must be suffering from a Ctenidae Stifferus bite."
