Black widow spider found in supermarket grapes
By Shelley K. Wong, Associated Press Writer October 19, 2006
HARTFORD, Conn. --Price Chopper removed a brand of black seedless grapes from the shelves at its Newington supermarket Thursday after a woman said she found a poisonous black widow spider.
Sheryl Rosen of Rocky Hill bought a bag of Autumn Royal black seedless grapes on sale Tuesday. It wasn't until Thursday, when she was eating some grapes at work, that she found the spider in the bag.
"I couldn't believe it," said Rosen, who was not injured. "I never thought I'd see a black widow around here."
The spider was taken to the Connecticut Poison Control Center at the University of Connecticut Health Center, where Rosen works, and verified as a black widow.
"Right now, we have it in a jar and we will wait until we hear if anyone is investigating further about the source," said Bernard Sangalli, toxicologist and administrative director of the center.......

poor spidey.. but it would freak me out to find her in my food.
note to self.. search those mangos you bought yesterday..
teatime is fine, let me know if you're ever up in the not so quiet NW corner. I could use a cup today, I just read that Lamont is trailing JoeMomma in the Q-Poll :(
bah. CT deserves better than Mr Torture-Keep Terry Schiavo Alive-pro BushTaliban ::((
you're up early on a saturday!!!
i need a cup o' steamin' joe right now myself.
i know ned is behind but i am hopeful. people HAVE to see the light
Hey Rose I thought about you when I saw this on Channel 8 that night. I am with that woman...no grapes for me for a while..
Hey guess who got to shake hands with Mr Lamont? Yours truly the night he was in Milford. There is a picture of me (in the background) on teh front page of the Milford Weekly..
the grapes this year have been astonishingly sweet. it's kind of hard to give them up. i DO bag them again (on top of the bag they come in) and as i said, wash them immediately
congratulations on meeting ned! the polls don't look good but as i've said, i sure do hope people come around and realize there is ONLY ONE choice in november (which is just a couple of weeks away..........)
Thank you...yeah I saw the polls but what matters is what happens on election day...:)
well kate, i am always one of the first, if not THE first to vote at 6 am on election days. i vote at my old elementary school. it's an odd feeling
