You eat eight spiders every year in your sleep. True?

Nope, says MythBusters. There's no evidence that spiders secretly crawl into our mouths while we're sleeping. Even if you were lying perfectly still, your breathing would scare a spider off, so it's unlikely to hang out around your mouth. Alas, the bad news: You probably consume more spiders when you are awake -- in your food. Here's why: The Food and Drug Administration guidelines allow a certain level of whole insects or parts in some food products, such as those containing fruits or vegetables. Yum.

Thank you for that. I heard about the eating spiders in your sleep when I was about 12 and have since trained myself to sleep on my side with my mouth closed (no kidding)..now I can't eat either. LMAO

It only bothers me when I can see them in my food. I once made a sandwich and when I was going to take my first bite of it I saw these two little beady eyes looking at me from out of the bread. EWWWW eyes. Needless to say I did not eat it.
