Can you die from, like, a venomous spider bite, while being asleep?

| Legit question, just thought of it while laying in bed and can't sleep now


| Yes


| Really tho, I don't know. Maybe you'd wake up first? If your a sleeper that doesn't move much it's not likely that you'll be bitten though


| Yes


| How can we know that we don't all die when we sleep, and recreated from our memories when we wake up?


| deep


| You would.
But typically spiders don't bite you without provocation so if you're asleep, they'd probably just crawl past you.
Or lay eggs in your ear.


| >or lay eggs in you ear
this is fine.


| Yeah totally you would. Tho maybe you luck out and wake up from the pain just in time to call a ambulance

Earwax contains a scent that is discouraging to insects (and I think arachnids) so this is rare, if not an urban legend.

There aren't many truly dangerous spiders that could actually kill you in your sleep.

Weird, I thought there was a specific group of insects well-known for crawling in the ears and even damaging the eardrums sometimes. Can't remember the name, especially in English (not my first language), but it was something about two tails or whatnot.


| At the very least I feel a bit better about the spider thing. Even managed to get some decent-ish sleep. So thanks, I guess.


| I once saw an Indian doctor pull out a three finger large wasp out of an ear. Do you still think they won't crawl inside you?


| so i did a quick research and some cockroaches can and will try to eat the earwax of someone while they are asleep, in fact it happen quite often in houses infested with them.
now i can't sleep cause my whole neighborhood is infested with roaches.


| And now, angry ticks fire out of my nipples
