A transit garage in Sydney had to be fumigated after black widow spiders were discovered on a new bus that had arrived from California.

The three brothers found a black widow and passed it around so it would bite them, according to a Bolivian health official.

An Edmonton family had no idea that every year, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is notified about a handful of incidents where people find black widow spiders in their grapes. That is until last week, when they had the experience themselves.
